INDIANAPOLIS — The NFL is working on controversial language that will prohibit future players from suing for any post-career health issues brought on by head injuries, The Daily has learned.
Sources told The Daily a legal team is preparing a waiver that the NFL wants to insert into contracts of new players, starting with the draft in April. It would stipulate that the league will do its best to educate and protect players from concussions and head injuries, but the athletes will not be able to sue the NFL for any long-term medical issues caused by such injuries.
The move comes as the league faces a lawsuit by more than 300 former players who charge the NFL should have warned them about the long-term effects of concussions.
