In addition to the "correction" for "double-dipping" which will deduct whatever Social Security award players might receive from their NFL disability checks, there are other provisions equally if not more concerning.
First, to clarify, while some disabled players receive as much as $11,500 per month in disability pay and likely receive about $2,000 from Social Security Disability, this is very much on the high end. Others are only getting around $3,000 per month and about $1,200 in SSD.
This would be devastating to the players on the lower end of the scale, reducing them to about $1,800 per month. Beyond this, the new CBA seeks to begin eliminating SSD determinations as automatic approval.

The CBA "Fact Sheet" provided by #NFLPA is a joke. It's also the repeat of a common tactic that has led many people to make poor decisions because important details of the actual contract are conveniently omitted.

This was a similar notice or "fact sheet" that went to retired NFL players leading them to believe they'd qualify for concussion settlement benefits that were later denied them. All because it omitted a few vitally important details.
To guys who are thinking the marijuana provision is great, I just got a message from an attorney who called it a "gloss over" and said, "The testing window and nanograms isn’t helpful at all."
