I signed a GLA. How do I find out if my name is on the list and/or included in the settlement?

Will you send the list out to all former players? I’ve never seen it, and what is the criteria for being on the list? Thanks, Dennis Homan

I played for 5 yrs and went through the 1982 strike and I still believe in the team concept. Shouldn’t all of us be included in this process. Thanks

Congratulations for your diligence and effort. Legal struggles like this one versus two powerhouses are no easy task. Isn’t it strange that I’ve seen nothing about this in the Denver press. Has it been in the national press or is the media not wanting to piss off their gravy train. Others had good questions about next steps in the struggle to force the NFL and NFLPA to prioritize the needs of retired players.

I appreciate the efforts that have been made on behalf of the older players who basically started the National football leaque. We are fortunate to have had the most incredible and unforgetable opportunity to play for the greatest professional sport. This discrimination against the early years has been hurtful and disappointing to all of us older players who played for the love of the sport, not for the rewards the players receive today. Thank you for standing up for the old timers. We are and always will be a part of this special NFL family. Keep up the good work and keep us informed. Cleveland Browns 1954-1957 November 11, 2008

Congratulations to the men who took on the establishment. You did the right thing. This is the first step in gaining a strong position in the NFLPA that is “ours” to start with. Don’t stop now with this settlement. Go for what is rightfully ours. “We are all members of the NFLPA both active and retired together”. Brothers united. Jim Bradshaw. Pittsburgh Steelers, (63/67)

Herbie,
No one has ever looked better in that gold Hall of Fame jacket than you. In many ways its a perfect fit.
Congratulations to you and the team that won this case.
Your old Packer teammate, Bob Hyland
