How good is the NFL pension? Does it really set you for life, and you gotta play for eight years? That sounds lame, given how so many NFL players' careers are only like three or four years or whatnot. And they get shit, huh? They should redo the CBA so those guys get something too. Maybe they already do. They're kind of like the lifeblood of the league. You can't have a roster without those types of players, they're a good chunk of every roster, and they play key, if more secondary roles. Team sport, right? I guess they don't have the clout when it comes to the negotiations, and their own union leaves them high and dry, and caters to the stars, and they came up with the 8 year threshold, and after that point its deemed that you've earned your keep. And they're lucky to make a team at all is how they're supposed to look at it.
