Fourth and Goal’s Response to NFL Owner’s Decision to End CBA

Fourth and Goal, an advocacy group of retired NFL players for retired players, read with interest today’s decision by NFL owners to end their agreement with the NFLPA in 2011.  Retired players want to be a part of the solution. For more than four years, Fourth & Goal has been in discussions with the NFL to improve existing pension and disability benefits for retired players, raise funds to assist retired players in immediate need, and gain representation for retired players to ensure that future generations of retired players will also be protected. We trust that Commissioner Goodell has listened to us and that the needs of retired players won’t be forgotten in the negotiations that will take place in the future.
