Yeah. I feel terrible for him. He is probably done and will get something for the league for going out due to injury, right? Especially concussion?

Not sure, but would assume there is a structured settlement for this type of injury within the CBA. I bet he will at least have healthcare services provided by the league for this issue indefinitely. I would hope so anyway.

I thought Andre the black belt played DE?

Yeah, Tippett was mostly a DEnd, the hawks played a lot of 5-2-4 under Fry and Brashier. Tippett was usually the wide side defensive end/lbkr. But in those days there were very few 5 receiver sets let alone 4 receiver sets and running backs going out deep on pass routes.

Lots of farm ground in northeast Iowa with that kinda cash. I'd hang it up and hope CTE stays away long enough to enjoy a few decades.

thru a quick Google search:

After seven seasons in the NFL, a player is eligible for several retirement benefits, including a pension, health insurance, and potentially disability benefits. The specific amount and type of benefits depend on various factors like the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in place during their playing time and the player's individual choices.

Here's a breakdown of potential benefits:
1. Pension:
  • A monthly benefit generally begins at age 55.

  • The amount is based on the number of "credited seasons" (years played in the NFL).

  • Under the 2020 CBA, benefits are $550 per credited season for seasons before 2012, and there's a 10% increase for seasons after 2011.

  • Players can choose from different pension plans, including a Life Only Pension (payments for the player's lifetime), a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity Pension (payments to the surviving spouse), and a Life and Contingent Annuitant Pension (payments to a designated beneficiary with variable percentages).
2. Health Insurance:
  • The NFL Player Insurance Plan provides health insurance coverage.
  • Retired players can also explore options through the Affordable Care Act marketplace.
  • Benefits can include assistance with joint replacement surgery, spinal and neurological evaluations, life insurance, long-term care insurance, reimbursements for medical expenses, and supplemental Medicare coverage.
3. Disability Benefits:
  • Players deemed totally and permanently disabled may receive significant annual payments.

  • The NFL's Line of Duty (LOD) disability program provides short-term disability benefits for injuries sustained during NFL activities.

  • Additionally, there's an 88 Plan that provides financial support for former players with dementia, Alzheimer's, ALS, or Parkinson's.
4. Other Benefits:
  • Annuity Plan:
    Players with at least 4 credited seasons may receive an annuity payment, with amounts varying based on the year they played.

  • Second Career Savings Plan:
    This plan allows players to contribute to a savings plan, with the league matching their contributions.

  • Severance Pay Plan:
    Players may receive severance pay based on the number of credited seasons.

  • Player Care Foundation:
    This organization provides support for medical, emotional, financial, social, and community needs of retired players.
