Although the NFL would prefer it, the matter is not settled since several days later, four other former NFL players filed a separate lawsuit against the NFL.
Subsequent information indicated that older players might not actually participate in the settlement, especially older players and those who died before 2006, even if their brains demonstrated changes of either Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Furthermore, newer information was that possibly legal fees WOULD come out of the settlement.
