Health insurance for those players at a minimum. They have doctors on team staff, it would not be ridiculous to add one more to take care of basic office visits and screening, and physical therapy after major joint replacements, recovery from organ surgery, etc. The NFL can afford self insurance for these guys, theres not that many and they have assets in place.

You have no real idea how much decent insurance would be for these guys.

Seriously, I work in Benefits. For a group like former NFL players, it would be astronomical. Not that the NFL couldn't afford it, but who gets less $$ to cover those guys?
