Once again, I know the argument will be 'well they just didn't have to play', but I can tell you that a jury's not going to buy that when they have actual corpses in front of them. Besides, the beautiful thing about waivers is that there are very few of them that I can argue are both 1) specific enough to be clear as to what they're addressing and 2) broad enough to cover all contingencies. Put me in a room with any document you draw up, give me enough time, money and manpower and sooner or later I'll figure out a way to attack one of those 2 problems. It's nowhere near as straightforward as vailpass or Donger are trying to make it. If it were, the NFL would've dealt with stuff like this, injury settlements or even Free Agency a long long time ago. The NFL can't just say 'here it is, take it or leave it', or we wouldn't have FA or exorbitant salaries now would we?

They can ultimately have someone else review it, but their choices remain the same as presented by vailpass - sign it or don't play. Go ahead and throw that in front of your average juror and see how it plays.

It would play just fine with me and everyone I know and seems to me it would play out as fair with a majority of Americans.

Not when they're on a jury. It never does.

You're simply out of your depth here if you truly believe there's some piece of paper the NFL can just hand every player and HUZZAH - no liability. It's not going to work that way.
