Maybe it happened in the locker room after the game.

This isn't a grey area - the court has no jurisdiction over non-parties to this suit. As such, any settlement agreement reached to dispose of this suit is not binding on the non-parties. It has no effect as a contract, settlement or otherwise. If the new group of players that gets together tomorrow either A) wasn't included in the class or B) Elected to opt out of the class, they're more than within their legal rights to sue the NFL again. And a year later, yet another group can do it. The NFL can't enter into a prospective settlement agreement with a class of plaintiff's that hasn't even been identified yet. All they can really do is dispose of what's in the past and better prepare themselves for suits in the future.

Unbelievable. The NFL got off too easy, IMO.
When Jerry Jones sells $300 million dollars worth of luxury suites each season, $765 million for 4,500 players is a pittance. |

No, but they are more likely to recharge their batteries.

Done. Since the kicker that shall go unnamed's name was in it I wasn't sure if I should use the NSFW tag, but I just went with the regular spoiler.

Hmmm...
Average NFL attendance of 67,570 * 8 home games = 540,560 $30,000,000 / 540,560 = $55 per fan per game Quote:

The first three years, each team will owe $3.9 million. From there on out, they'll pay $703k for 17 years. The NFL got off easy. |
