PromoTheRobot Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I've searched the web for any other news or information about what exactly Neufeld is suffering from. CTE? And what does she mean about "slashing" his benefits? Is this related to the new CBA? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) The NFL pension plan is one of the dumbest things I've seen. The rich get richer. If you've made a certain amount from the NFL you shouldn't receive a pension. Leave that money for players that need it why does someone like Tom Brady need a 6 figure pension plan? I'm sure it's like this in all pro sports but it makes zero sense to pay the wealthiest athletes a larger pension.

4merper4mer Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I remember seeing Rodney Harrison deliver a blatant and absolutely viscous head shot on him at mid-field of a Bills home game on an uncatchable ball. 100 % targeting. I'm sure it's not the only hit he took but if it wasn't the worst I shudder to think what might have been. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Google him. He's one of the guys who's just barely good enough to make a team but not good enough to stick for long. In other words, a vastly better athlete than any of us, but not quite elite enough for the NFL. He had one injury after another during his career, and I'm sure some of those become sources of chronic pain for players as they get older. His wife has some tweets that make it sound like the new CBA is what's going to slash his retirement. Why that might be, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Not at all a surprising development, if it is true. Throw enough cash and benefits at your current voting membership, and figuratively put the retirees on an ice floe in the Arctic, especially the ones who only had a few marginally successful years. I have had thirty year veterans of a past workplace complain that their pension was inadequate. When I reminded them that as young workers they were advised to look after future pension considerations, those younger versions of themselves often opted for wage enhancements. “Screw the old guys!” We all eventually become that ‘old guy’.
