Retired players can join both the Retired Players organization, which like TAFKAS said is a division of the NFLPA, as well as the NFL Alumni. The Retired Players organization is essentially an advocate for former NFLers, helping to ensure the well-being of retired players by increasing future pensions and benefits for all players, while serving as a networking resource for players' careers after football. The NFL Alumni is a charity organization which serves the community and retired players experiencing economic or medical hardship. Neither organization appears to serve as a collective bargaining force in the use of retired players' names and likenesses, so that apparently is left up to the discretion of the individual retirees.
