NFL player benefits

The NFL does provide many programs for retired players with programs such as the Joint Replacement Program, Neurological care program, spine treatment program, and many others. But one plan caught my attention it is called the 88 Plan. The 88 Plan is named after Hall of Famer and NFL legend John Mackey. This plan provides former players with up to $100,000 a year for medical care resulting from dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, ALS, and/or Parkinson's disease. This plan was started in 2007 and since then it has distributed over $16 million to players and their families. This plan is a great way to make sure that players that are suffering from terrible brain injuries do get the proper care they need after they are done playing football.
