About this settlement

Allegations of "race-norming" in the NFL disability plan settlement that may reduce benefits for former players and restrict their ability to opt out.

Over 100 former NFL players, including notable names like Mike Vick, Willis McGahee, and Ricky Williams, have formally objected to a proposed class action settlement concerning the NFL's disability plan. The objections, spearheaded by attorney Sam Katz, center on allegations that the settlement's use of "race-norming" practices could unfairly reduce benefits for non-white players and prevent them from opting out to pursue their claims independently. A hearing is scheduled for October 20 to address these objections.

Who qualifies

  • Former NFL players who were part of the class action against the NFL disability plan.
  • Eligibility for benefits and the ability to opt out are central to the current objections.
