It is time to take another approach to the funding and needs of retired players. The utimate responsibility belongs to the player themselves when it comes to life after football. It has been said many times that theirs is alot more time spent living as a retired player than as a active player. That being said the preparation must begin as soon as you are lucky enough to be drafted and sign your first contract. Then you also need a union management team thats main function is generating revenue for its members.This group must always be able to be a stand alone group with enough profits to easily survive under any conditions. IF THERE IS ANYONE READING THIS THAT REALLY CARES ABOUT THE MANY RETIRED NFL PLAYERS AND THIERS FAMILIES PLEASE RESPOND BACK. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

I can see why there needs to be a fiduciary responisibilty do to fact such as, Houston, TX chapter President being sued for shady business dealing with the real owner of Myles J the lawsuit is filed in Harris County District Court under MJH Ventures vs Sedrick Clark. This one of the reason things are they way they are you let these kind of people who did even play one full year in charge of your organizations across the county who doesn’t understand the process to caught up in titles! Good Luck

The retired paved the way for these now active players. I myself played a total of eight years and vested six years as a veteran player. I played with the Seahawks,Raiders, and Vikings. The greed that is being displayed is just not right there is enough for everyone to be properly taken care of. Why can’t we as people start looking out for one another and do whats right?
