The NFL wouldn't be the NFL and the owners wouldn't own teams if it wasn't a money making proposition. And why shouldn't the players themselves bear part of the cost? They knew what they were getting into when they signed to play a game that destroys the human body!!

Drew Brees caught flack for saying it best when he said that bad decisions and a lifestyle that they could not afford is why most of those guys wind up with nothing.
