This is long overdue with regards to the old, old school players that only got paid like $200-$300 a game, etc. The money being made is quite ridiculous for these guys not being cared for at all. With that being said, I think a grandfather type clause should be made for the plan though. The guys in the FA era with the average salary at over a million a season should be set for life with regards to health care. Like the above post, it is very hard for me working in an auto related venture in Detroit working 40-50 hours a week with being stuck with a relatively weak healthcare plan feeling sorry for a bunch of multimillionaires in the new age of the NFL.
