Wrong on all three counts. They have a 401(k) and a pension. They get 5 years of post-retirement health insurance. There is an EAP for retired players (as well as active players), etc.A lot of posters are beating up on Browner instead of addressing the big elephant in the room, the NFL itself. How many of you realize what a cutthroat business the NFL is? Once you're no longer good enough to play in the league, you're out- that's it. No pension, no health care, no support system.
