Quote:
A total of $675m for injury compensation, with individual awards caps at $4m for deaths from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, $3m for players suffering from dementia and $5m for players with Alzheimer's disease.

Probably a good thing but how will they tell that the player that gets dementia or Alzheimer's got if from playing? Though the players need a decent retirement scheme considering many only have a three year career, and injuries will end those careers in many cases.
