Just one paragraph tells the story:

Money that the former players or their family members had counted on will instead, for now, remain in the NFL’s settlement fund or will be redirected to insurance companies, lawyers, credit card companies or others who have placed a lien on the awards in an effort to secure a piece of the payout.

I see both side's argument in all of this.

The NFL has more than enough money to take care of their former players who have suffered brain trauma.

Buy then again, these players chose their profession just like everyone else does.

I personally don't think it's comparable to for example, employees working at a factory who was unknowingly exposed to something cancer-causing.

All they did was put more money in the lawyers pockets.
