How much teeth would a lawsuit from say Seau's family really have?
It seems like there is an implied assumption of risk when playing a violent sport if it isn't explicitly defined in their contracts.
It's not like they could claim wrongful death lawsuit. Not everyone with a brain disease commits suicide.

People who are overwhelmed with gambling debts probably commit suicide with the same frequency as ex NFL players suffering from brain damage if not much higher.
Let's sue all businesses that depend on gambling revenue for wrongful deaths. Makes perfect sense.

There's an implied assumption of risk when you become a coal miner, too.
Those families have won lawsuits...

that's not the issue. the issue is that the NFL researched it, then lied to the NFLPA about the results. They intentionally lied to players about it.
