[COLOR=#000000]Then, there’s the [URL='http://retiredplayers.org/2008/09/19/when-should-you-draw-your-nfl-pension/'][COLOR=#225e9b][SIZE=15px]poverty level pension for retired NFL players[/SIZE][/COLOR][/URL]. Players are fully vested after three years in the league. Once they retire, they can begin receiving their full pension at age 55. Players who played at least one season prior to 1993 can elect to receive a partial pension at age 45. While active, players are credited $200 per month for every season in the league. The monthly amount increases slightly each year. However, a player who retires after 10 years, can expect to receive roughly $30,000 per year in retirement which pales in comparison to the $300,000 to $3 million or more he made while active. Retired players with less than 10 years can expect to make about $14,000 annually, which is at the U.S. poverty level.[/COLOR]
 
[COLOR=#000000]call me crazy - ut that as a pension seems like an added bonus. Maybe the NFL players should save their high salaries.[/COLOR]
 
[COLOR=#000000]Here is the article, which basically kills all players benefits (the article comes from a shady insurance salesman ((i am an insurance salesman)) so please beware. This person seems extra crazy): [url]http://mytensense.com/2011/03/nfl-pension-and-benefits-are-pathetic-players-dont-have-it-made/[/url][/COLOR]
