Memorandum

MEMORANDUM
DATE JULY 2009

FROM DEMAURICE SMITH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
TO ALL PLAYERS
With another league year underway and a new season about to start, the NFLPA is providing you with this NFLPA
Player Planner to help you stay organized and informed in the upcoming months. In it you will find important
information about the CBA, your benefits and rights, and the significant dates which could affect you and your
career as a player.
As we approach the 2009 season, we should all keep in mind that this will be the final capped year under our
CBA, which expires after an uncapped year in 2010. This is happening because the NFL owners “walked away”
from the agreement that was to continue until 2012. It is also apparent through their recent actions that the
owners have prepared to lockout our players in 2011, similar to the lockout in professional hockey four years ago.
It is therefore important that we gear up for what will be the test of the players’ preparation and resolve. We
have taken steps to confront this challenge and I urge you to join us in our continued fight for fairness. First, we
know that the NFL has adopted the same NHL lockout strategy by hiring the same lawyer who orchestrated that
year-long lockout. Second, while the NFL continues to use its Congressional exemptions from anti-monopoly
laws to secure television deals through 2015, it inserted clauses in those contracts to guarantee multi-million
dollar payments to the teams in the event of a lockout. Finally, this year we witnessed the unprecedented
decision by the NFL to alter the pension plan for over 300 coaches.
Our only request in the face of these steps is to have the NFL provide us with complete financial transparency to
demonstrate the necessity of changing the deal we signed. They have steadfastly refused.
Accordingly, we will prepare to defend the rights of our players—both current and former—by asking tough
questions, securing the support of unions and businesses affected by a lockout, and joining with those who
support fair bargaining.
In team meetings this year we will brief the membership on these important issues. However, it is also
important for you as a player to educate yourself and to prepare financially for the uncertainties that may arise
with the 2011 season. This union has worked for over 50 years to get to where the players have both free
agency and a guaranteed percentage (60%) of league revenues. As a unified group of players standing solidly
behind the NFLPA in the upcoming years, your legacy can be an improvement on those gains, and I look forward
to seeing it happen.
Sincerely,
DeMaurice F. Smith

July 2009 Alert

July 2009 Alert
INJURY GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
AND
SECOND MEDICAL OPINION
Injury Grievances – Your player contract contains important language protecting you if
you become injured while playing for your NFL club. The language provides that if you are
injured while performing services for your club and you promptly report the injury, you are
entitled to:
• Receive your salary for the season of injury for so long as you remain physically
unable to play during that season; and,
• Receive necessary treatment, rehabilitation, medical and hospital care.
If you are released by your club in 2009 while still injured and unable to play due to an
injury you suffered with your club in 2009, YOU MUST FILE AN INJURY GRIEVANCE
WITHIN 25 DAYS after your release by the club to enforce your rights under your player
contract.
You should call the NFLPA as soon as possible after your release so that an injury grievance
can be filed for you and you can be examined by a neutral physician. If the neutral physician
finds that you are still injured and if the club still refuses to pay you, you will be given a hearing
before an arbitrator who will decide your case. An NFLPA attorney will represent you free of
charge, and all hearing expenses will be paid by the NFLPA.
Once you are injured, it is best to keep a diary or good notes of all the important events of
your treatment, especially what you are told by the trainers and doctors. This Player Planner
contains space on the daily calendar for you to do this. If you are released injured, your daily
notes will make you a better witness at your hearing.
Second Medical Opinion – The CBA also gives you the right to get a second medical
opinion concerning an injury from a physician other than your club physician. The club will
be responsible for the expense of the second medical opinion as long as you: (1) Consult with
your club before seeing the second opinion physician; and (2) Provide to your club a copy of
the physician’s report with his or her diagnosis and suggested course of treatment.
In addition, every player for whom surgery becomes necessary has the right, under the CBA,
to select his own surgeon at the club’s expense. This is always advisable, since club physicians in
many cases are immune from suit for malpractice under state workers compensation laws.

CUT DOWNS/SQUAD SIZE
For the 2009 season, each NFL club must reduce its roster to 75 players by Tuesday,
September 1, 2009. Each club must further reduce its roster to 53 players on the Active/
Inactive List on Saturday, September 5, 2009.
Immediately prior to kickoff each week during the regular season, clubs establish a
45 player Active List from their 53 man Active/Inactive Roster, and also identify one
additional player on the Inactive List as a third quarterback who can enter the game only if
the other two quarterbacks cannot play.
PRACTICE SQUADS
On Sunday, September 6, 2009, the day after the final pre-season cutdowns, each club
may establish a Practice Squad of no more than eight (8) players who are free agents and
who do not have more than nine games on an Active list in a previous season. The minimum
salary for a practice squad player is $5,200 per week, including the playoff weeks.
In addition, a player under contract to a club as a Practice Squad player is completely

free to sign a contract with any NFL club to play on their Active/Inactive list.
DAYS OFF
All players must be allowed at least four days off per month, beginning with the first pre-
season game and extending through the regular season and post-season. During the 24-hour
period constituting a day off, any injured player may be required to get medical treatment
and quarterbacks may be required to attend coaches’ meetings.
PRE-SEASON PAY
For 2009, pre-season pay is set at $825 per week for rookies and $1,225 per week for
veterans. Veterans also receive an additional $200 per week for all pre-season game weeks
(except for the Hall of Fame game).
MEAL MONEY
On travel days, during the 2009 pre-season, regular season and post-season, a player will
be reimbursed for meals not provided by his club as follows: Breakfast - $18.00; Lunch -
$27.00; Dinner - $45.00. Commercial airline meals or the equivalent will not be considered
as furnished by the club.

2.) He was on the club’s Active/Inactive List on or after the club’s first regular
season game.
If a player is thereafter released during the regular season, the club must pay the unpaid
balance of the player’s “Paragraph 5 salary.” A player is only entitled to termination pay once
during his playing career in the NFL.
Under the CBA, a club can be excused from paying termination pay to an otherwise eligible
player if it can show to a neutral arbitrator that, after receipt of a written warning, the player
failed to exhibit the level of good faith effort which was expected from players on that club.
A player qualifying for this benefit must claim termination pay no sooner than one day after
the end of the regular season and no later than February 1. The NFLPA suggests that a player
claim this benefit by notifying the club responsible for payment in writing by certified mail or
Federal Express.

(See Article XXIII of the CBA for a further explanation or call the NFLPA office at
1.800.372.2000.)
SEVERANCE PAY PLAN
Any player who is released or who retires after at least two Credited Seasons in the League
is entitled to receive $10,000 for every year he played between 1993 and 1999, and $12,500
for each season between 2000 and 2009. There will be no severance credit in 2010, the last
(uncapped) year of the CBA, but players will still be entitled to severance credits earned
prior to 2010.
A player will receive his severance pay within 12 months after his last date of service.

October 2009 Alert
CREDITED SEASONS/ACCRUED SEASONS
Do you know what a Credited Season or an Accrued Season is? Do you know how you
can earn them as an NFL player? As you play through the early part of the 2009 regular
season, it is important to know that earning a Credited Season or an Accrued Season for 2009
may entitle you to certain benefits and free agency rights under the Collective Bargaining
Agreement (CBA).
Credited Seasons – A Credited Season for benefit purposes is any season in which a
player is on one of the following lists for at least three (3) regular season or post-season
games: Active List, Inactive List, Injured Reserve List, or Physically Unable to Perform List
(PUP).
A player will also earn a Credited Season if he is released injured and paid the equivalent
of at least three (3) game checks. Weeks on the Practice Squad will not count toward a
Credited Season.
Earning Credited Seasons entitles you to various benefits under the CBA. For instance,
after the year 2000, a player who has earned more than two (2) Credited Seasons in the
NFL qualifies to receive severance pay equal to $12,500 per Credited Season when he retires
from the NFL. (There will be no severance credit for the 2010 season which became an
uncapped year as a result of the Owners giving notice to terminate the CBA after the 2010
season). Also, a player with two (2) or more Credited Seasons is eligible to participate in the
Second Career Savings Plan. A player with three (3) or more Credited Seasons is eligible
to receive a pension starting at age 55. A player with four (4) or more Credited Seasons is
able to claim Termination Pay if he is cut in his fifth season or later, and also qualifies for the
NFL Player Annuity Program.
Accrued Seasons – An Accrued Season is a season during which a player has been on
full pay status (Active, Inactive or Injured Reserve List) for six (6) or more regular season
games. However, a player who is on the Exempt Commissioner Permission List, the Reserve
Physically Unable to Perform/Non Football Injury List, or the Practice Squad for any of the
six (6) qualifying games will not earn an Accrued Season, regardless of his pay status.
Earning an Accrued Season entitles a player to advance through the free agency system,
which governs a player’s negotiating rights once his contract has expired. In a capped year,
a player with four (4) or more Accrued Seasons becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent once
his contract expires (unless he is designated a Franchise or Transition Player – see March
2010 Alert; p. 96). A player with three (3) but less than four (4) Accrued Seasons when his
contract expires becomes a Restricted Free Agent. (Note: The number of accrued season
necessary for Unrestricted Free Agency changes in 2010. See March 2010 Alert p. 96)
As you can see, over the next few weeks you will be earning valuable rights and benefits
as an NFL player. If you have any questions about the rights and benefits summarized above,
please call the NFLPA at 800.372.2000.

POST-CAREER BENEFITS IN 2009

November 2009 Alert
The NFLPA negotiated a first-time-ever benefit in 1993 known as the NFL Player
Second Career Savings Plan (401(k)). When combined with the Severance Pay Benefit and
a vested player’s pension benefits, it helps provide lifetime financial security for veteran
NFL players.
The Second Career Savings Plan allows for players to contribute a portion of their salaries
into a tax deferred account. Starting in the year 2001*, the player’s club must match $2.00
for every $1.00 the player puts into the account, up to a maximum of $20,000 for the club.
If the player does not make a contribution, the club will contribute at least $3,600 on his
behalf in each capped year.
Player contributions into this 401(k) plan are taxed deferred as are the investment earn-
ings accrued while in the plan. Also, the player has his choice of eleven investment options,
which he can change on a quarterly basis as he sees fit. After retirement, the player can take
the money out any time between age 45 and 65, and the payments will be taxed at his then-
current rate. Before it’s too late, you should arrange to contribute the maximum amount
possible for 2009.
Just as importantly, the Player Annuity Program puts even more money away for the
player’s eventual retirement. In 2009, the clubs will collectively put $76 million aside for
player annuities*. To be eligible, a player must have at least four Credited Seasons in the
NFL. The amount allocated to each player in 2009 will be about $65,000 per player.
Beginning with the 2006 season, $45,000 of the $65,000, was allocated to a new tax-
qualified plan. For those players who were entitled to the $65,000 allocation, of the remain-
ing $20,000, up to 42% is applied to applicable tax withholding and the remaining 58% is
contributed to the program and used to purchase a deferred annuity. If less than 42% is used
for withholding, you get the excess paid in cash.
Players with three or more Credited Seasons are also eligible to receive a pension, generally
beginning at age 55, from the Bert Bell / Pete Rozelle NFL Player Retirement Plan. Begin-
ning with the 1998 Credited Season, a player gets a benefit credit of $470 for each Credited
Season he earns. As a result, a player with eight Credited Seasons from 2002 through 2009
will get $3,760 per month at age 55. Obviously, players with more Credited Seasons will
see their pensions increase even more.
Finally, the NFLPA negotiated a new post-career benefit in 2006, which will help play-
ers pay for future medical expenses for themselves and their families after their NFL health
insurance coverage expires. Called the NFL Player Health Reimbursement Account Plan
(“HRA Plan”), this plan puts aside $25,000 for each Credited Season played*, to a maximum
of $300,000, for each player who either: (1) Earned a Credited Season in 2006 (or later
years in which a salary cap is in effect) and has three or more Credited Seasons, or (2) had
his last Credited Season in 2004 or 2005 and has at least eight Credited Seasons. The player
can use this money to pay medical expenses after his post-career medical insurance expires,
which is usually about five years after retirement. Consult your NFLPA Benefits Booklet or
call the NFLPA Benefits Department for more information about this great new benefit.
* PLEASE NOTE: There will be no contribution for either the 401(k) plan, the Player
Annuity Plan or the HRA Plan in 2010. That season becomes the last (uncapped) season of
the CBA, as a result of the Owners’ recent decision to terminate the CBA after the 2010
season.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION BENEFITS

December 2009 Alert

Players injured while playing for their NFL club may be entitled to monetary benefits
under state workers’ compensation statutes. Although there is much variation among the
states, players are generally eligible for workers’ compensation benefits for injuries suffered
while playing. In fact, the CBA requires clubs to provide workers’ compensation benefits
equivalent to other employees in their state. The benefits generally take three different
forms:
• Disability Pay or Wage Loss Benefits to compensate a player for the time he is out
of work due to an injury-related disability.
• Lump Sum Benefit to compensate for permanent loss of function.
• Medical Expenses arising from the injury. Medical Expenses are important since NFL
clubs will not pay medical expenses after a player leaves the game unless they are
required to do so under workers’ compensation laws when a player files a claim.
The NFLPA has assembled a panel of workers’ compensation attorneys located in each
of the NFL cities to assist you with your workers’ compensation claim (see list starting on
page 172). The panel consists of experienced attorneys who routinely represent players in
workers’ compensation claims, and they are “on call” to help you.
If you are injured while playing, please call the NFLPA office at 800.372.2000 or talk
to your Player Representative, get the phone number of the workers’ compensation panel
attorney in your NFL city, and call the attorney immediately so that the proper steps can be
taken to preserve your claim.
Be aware that every state has a time limit within which to file a claim, which could be
as short as one (1) year from the date of injury.
LINE OF DUTY DISABILITY

The Collective Bargaining Agreement also provides for a post-career injury benefit
known as the “Line of Duty Disability Benefit” (LOD). If a player incurs a substantial injury
that is a significant factor in causing his retirement from football (but he is not totally and
permanently disabled), he may be eligible for “Line of Duty” disability benefits.
• Minimum benefit: 100% of a player’s monthly pension amount, but not less than
$1,000/month.
• Duration of payment: 7 ½ years.
• Application time: Must apply within 4 years of leaving the NFL or within the
same number of years that the player has Credited Seasons, whichever is later. For
example, a player with 10 Credited Seasons has 10 years to apply for the benefit
after leaving the NFL.
• This benefit is paid in addition to any workers’ compensation benefits the player
may receive.

INJURY PROTECTION BENEFIT

A player who suffers an injury which prevents him from being able to play in the last
game or which requires off-season surgery, and which injury continues to prevent him from
playing football by the time of the pre-season physical examination of the following season,
may be entitled to receive the Injury Protection Benefit under the CBA.
In order to qualify to receive the Injury Protection Benefit a player must be under contract
to an NFL club for the season after the season of injury and meet the following criteria:
• Player must have been physically unable, because of a severe football injury, to
participate in all or part of his club’s last game of the season of injury, as certified by
the club physician following a physical examination after the last game; or player
must have undergone club-authorized surgery in the off-season following the season
of injury;
• Player must have undergone whatever reasonable and customary rehabilitation
treatment his club required of him during the off-season following the season of
injury; and
• Player must be deemed physically unable to perform at the beginning of the
pre-season following the season of injury because of such injury and have his contract
terminated for the season following the season of injury. The CBA further provides
a player may obtain an outside medical opinion to dispute a club physician’s decision
to pass him on the pre-season physical.
A player who meets the above criteria will receive an amount equal to 50% of his contract
salary for the season following the season of injury up to $300,000 for 2009. Please contact
the NFLPA Legal Department (800.372.2000) if you feel you may be a candidate for this

PLAYER REPS MEET NEXT MONTH

February 2010 Alert
Next month, the NFLPA Board of Player Representatives holds its annual meeting in Hawaii
from March 12th to March 19th. The Board of Representatives is the governing body of the NFLPA,
and it consists of player representatives from each team who are elected by their teammates.
To be eligible for election as a player rep, a player must be a dues-paying member in good
standing for at least one year prior to his election under the NFLPA Constitution. The same is
true of the alternate player representative, who is elected at the same time as the player rep. The
Constitution further provides that only NFLPA members may vote in the player rep election,
which is held during the first half of the season in even-numbered years. The player rep and his
alternate generally serve a two-year term, but if the rep leaves the team during his term, the
alternate rep will take his place. If both the player rep and the alternate have left the team, the
NFLPA President – currently Kevin Mawae – either directs a new election or appoints a substitute
who serves until the team can elect a new player rep and alternate.
The NFLPA Board of Representatives’ annual meeting is vital to all players, so it is important
that all teams are represented. This is one of the reasons why the meeting has been held in an
attractive place, like Hawaii, where it is likely that 100 percent attendance will be achieved as it
has been in most of the last several years. In addition to player reps and alternates, other players
are often invited to the meeting to provide a continuity of union leadership on as many teams as
possible.
Each year, the player reps and alternates attend meetings for several days. A typical day begins
at 7:00 AM with small group meetings with the Regional Directors from the staff (Jason Belser,
Scottie Graham, Tom DePaso, and Tom Carter). This is followed by the full Board Meeting, which
usually lasts into the afternoon.
The initial phase of the meetings consists primarily of reports from the NFLPA staff and also
from Players’ Inc., the NFLPA’s for-profit licensing and sports marketing subsidiary. The financial
report normally occurs the second day, and it includes a thorough review of the annual audit of
the NFL PLAYERS books conducted by Calibre CPA Group, the NFLPA’s outside accounting
firm. After the financial report, the Board normally reviews the annual budget report page-by-
page, and votes on a new budget for the upcoming year. This includes the setting of member dues
for the upcoming year. The meetings also include consideration of various motions from the floor
and other new business.
In even-numbered years the Board of Reps elects officers, including the President and ten
Vice-Presidents who all serve on the NFLPA Executive Committee. The Executive Director is
also an NFLPA officer, and is subject to re-election by the Board of Player Reps every three years
under the NFLPA Constitution. The Executive Committee meets several times each year and
has the authority to transact the business of the NFLPA between meetings of the full Board of
Reps.
The NFLPA is a democratic organization ultimately controlled by the 1,800 plus players who
remain members in good standing. As with all organizations, however, most of its success depends
upon active involvement by its membership.
If you have not done so already, why not make it a point this year to become more knowledgeable
about your union and more active in it?

March 2010 Alert

FREE AGENCY SYSTEM EXPLAINED

March 2010 Alert
March is an important month for NFL players, since it occurs just after the standard date on which player contracts
expire. Free Agency is particularly important in 2010, since there is no salary cap in effect for this season due to
the Owners’ decision to terminate the CBA when the League year ends. Under the CBA rules in effect for this
off-season, player’s without a contract for the 2010 season become “free agents” on March 5, 2010. Even though
the player may be a “free agent”, the CBA does not allow him to sign with another club in an uncapped year unless
he has accumulated at least six Accrued Seasons in which he has been in “full pay status” for six or more regular
season games. Even then, he may be restricted if he is designated a Franchise or Transition Player.
It is therefore important for all NFL players to understand the categories of free agency contained in the CBA.
They are listed below:

1. Exclusive Rights Free Agent – A player whose contract expires at a time when he has less than three Accrued
Seasons in the NFL cannot market his services to other clubs if his old club gives him a minimum salary
tender on or before March 4, 2010. If the tender is provided, this player can only re-sign with his old club
(unless the tender is later withdrawn).

2. Restricted Free Agent – A player whose contract expires when he has three Accrued Seasons (but less than
six seasons) in 2010 is in this category. If his old club provides him with a sufficient “Qualifying Offer”, on or
before March 4, 2010, it retains the right to either match an offer the player may get from another club or
to receive draft choice compensation from the club making the offer. The Qualifying Offer is based on the
level of draft choices the old club wants to receive. For example, the Qualifying Offer to receive a first and
third rounder in 2010 is $3,043,000. The Restricted Free Agent only has until April 15, 2010 to generate
an offer from another club. If he fails to get an offer, his exclusive rights revert to the old club unless the
Qualifying Offer is withdrawn.

3. Unrestricted Free Agent – A player whose contract expires when he has accumulated at least six Accrued
Seasons in 2010 is free to sign with any other club, if he does so by the beginning of training camp of the
same year. If he does not sign elsewhere, his exclusive rights revert to his old club after that date, provided
that the old club has given him a written tender by June 1 offering to re-sign him for an additional year
at a ten percent increase in salary (the “June 1 Tender”). An Unrestricted Free Agent will be restricted
in signing elsewhere, however, if he is designated a Franchise or Transition Player. In addition, under the
special rules applicable to the final League year in 2010, there are restrictions on certain clubs’ ability to
sign free agent players. Under these rules, the top four teams (i.e. the teams competing in the Conference
Championships after the 2009 season) are not allowed to sign an Unrestricted Free Agent from another
Club unless they have lost one of their own Unrestricted Free Agents to another club. Even then, the
player’s first year Salary can be no more than the first year Salary of the player who was lost to the other
club. Further, the next four teams in the standings, defined as the clubs who lost in the playoffs one week
prior to the Conference Championships in January of 2010, are also limited to signing one Unrestricted
Free Agent for every Unrestricted Free Agent lost to another club pursuant to the rules described above.
In addition, however, these teams are allowed to sign:
1.) One additional Unrestricted Free Agent at a first year Salary of $4,925,000 or more; and
2.) Any number of additional Unrestricted Free Agents so long as they have a first year salary of no
more than $3,275,000 and an annual increase in any future contract year of no more than 30%
of the first contract year Salary. In addition, any player signed under this provision is prohibited
from negotiating an increase in Salary for a period of one year from the date of signing.

4. Franchise Player – Each club may designate one player who would otherwise be an Unrestricted Free Agent
as a Franchise Player. The designation must be made between February 11 and February 25 in the year 2010,
and the club must tender the Franchise Player an offer equal to the average of the top five salaries in the
League at the player’s position. If the tender offers the top five average applicable at the end of the previous
season, the Franchise Player can seek offers from other clubs, but the old team can match the offer or receive
two first round draft choices from the offering team. If the tender offers the top five average applicable at the
end of the upcoming Restricted Free Agent signing period, the club retains exclusive rights to the player and
he cannot negotiate with other teams. Franchise Player and Transition Player tenders become fully guaranteed
for skill and football injury if the player chooses to accept the tender.

5. Transition Players – A club can elect to use a Transition Player designation for one Unrestricted Free Agent
instead of using its Franchise Player designation. If it does so, it must tender the player an offer equal to the
average of the top 10 salaries in the League at his position. In addition, since 2010 is the final League year
under the CBA, each club is entitled to designate one additional Unrestricted Free Agent as a Transition
Player. A Transition Player can obtain an offer from any other team, but his old team can only match or not
match the offer – it cannot collect any draft choice compensation if it does not match.

OFF-SEASON WORKOUT RULES

April 2010 Alert

Clubs may conduct voluntary, but not mandatory, off-season workout programs for no
more than 14 weeks, with no more than four workouts per week. Clubs may only hold 14 days
of organized team activity during this 14-week period, and no contact work is permitted.
Teams must provide their players with a schedule of all off-season activity before it begins,
including a starting date, which will be uniform around the NFL, and a designation of which
days are the 14 days for “organized team activity”. The intensity and tempo of drills shall be
at a level conducive to learning, with player safety as the highest priority, and not at a level
where one player is in a physical contest with another player.
During the 14 days of “organized team activity” the following rules apply:
• Maximum six hours per day, with a maximum of two hours on the field.
• No pads except protective knee or elbow pads. Helmets are permitted.
• No live contact, no live contact drills between offensive and defensive
linemen.
• 7 on 7, 9 on 7, and 11 on 11 drills are permitted, but no live contact.
For all off-season workouts other than the 14 days of “organized team activity” these
rules apply:
• Maximum of four (4) hours per day, with a maximum of 90 minutes on
the field.
• Club may only specify up to two (2) hours that the players can be at the club
facilities; the player may select the other two (2) hours in which he wishes to
conduct weight training, etc.
• No “organized team activity.”
Pre-Training Camp Period – During the 10 consecutive days immediately prior to the
mandatory veteran reporting date for each club’s pre-season training camp, no veteran player,
except those specified below, may participate in any club organized workouts or other
organized football activity of any kind, or any football activity with any coach. Thus, clubs
can not use any of their 14 days of “organized team activity” immediately prior to camp. This
ensures a break for veteran players just prior to training camp.
Veteran players not subject to this 10-day rule are: (1) Quarterbacks; (2) Players on the
Injured Reserve, Physically Unable to Perform, or Non-Football Injury list at the end of the
previous season; (3) Players who failed a club physical after the last game of the previous
season; (4) Players who sustained an injury in the off-season; and (5) Players who had off-
season surgery. These players may be asked to participate in club activity during this 10 day
period.
Any head coach who is responsible for conduct which violates the off-season workout
rules will be subject to a fine by the Commissioner, which fine cannot be paid by the club
or any other person on behalf of the coach.
DRUG TESTING

Players under contract to an NFL club may be tested for drugs of abuse (e.g., marijuana,
cocaine) as part of the pre-season test. This test can be administered by the League on a team-
wide or position group basis at any time between April 20 and August 9 of each year.

RESERVE LISTS FOR INJURED PLAYERS
Are you an injured player who is physically unable to play football? If so, your club may
place you on one of several reserve lists, depending on your circumstances. Below is a partial
listing of the reserve lists and a brief explanation of your rights while on those lists.
PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO PERFORM (PUP)
A player who fails his club’s pre-season physical at the start of training camp may be
placed by his club on the Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP). A player on PUP is eligible
to receive his salary, but is ineligible for games and practices, except as described below.
However, he may attend meetings of his club.
For a three-week period beginning with the day after the club’s sixth regular season game
and ending the day after the ninth regular season game, a player on PUP may practice with
his club and/or be restored to his club’s Active/Inactive List.
RESERVE/INJURED
A player who suffers an injury in a practice or game after passing his club’s pre-season
physical may be placed on the club’s Reserve/Injured List if the injury renders him physically
unable to play football. A player will continue to receive his salary while on Reserve/Injured,
but he is prohibited from practicing with his club for the remainder of the season. However,
he may attend meetings of his club.
NON-FOOTBALL INJURY OR ILLNESS (NFI)
A player who fails the pre-season physical of his club because of an injury or illness
unrelated to football may be placed on the Non-Football Injury or Illness List (NFI) if the
injury renders him unable to play football. A player will not be entitled to receive his salary
while on NFI, and will be prohibited from practicing until the three-week period beginning
the day after his club’s sixth regular season game, during which time he may be restored to
his club’s Active/Inactive List.
A player who suffers an injury unrelated to football after passing the club’s pre-season
physical may also be placed on NFI. If placed on NFI in this manner, a player will not be able
to return to practice or play with his club at any time during the season.
This is just an overview of the reserve lists and the rules applicable to them. Please call
the NFLPA Legal Department at 800.372.2000 to discuss the specifics regarding your
situation.

June 2010 Alert

June 2010 Alert
2010 REPORTING DATE
AND
PLAYER HOLDOUTS
Reporting Date – Your NFL club is prohibited from requiring that any veteran player
(other than quarterbacks and injured players) report to the club’s official pre-season training
camp earlier than fifteen (15) days (including one day for physical examinations) prior to its
first scheduled pre-season game or July 15, whichever is later. Since this date will obviously
vary from club to club, you will be sent a notice in the next few weeks indicating the earliest
date your club may begin camp. Your club is also prohibited from allowing veteran players
to participate in any practice activity during the ten-day (10) period preceding the veteran
reporting date (see the April 2010 Alert, p. 108, for exceptions to this rule).
Player Holdouts – The start of training camp is just around the corner and many players
– veterans and rookies – remain unsigned or are attempting to renegotiate with their NFL
clubs. If you have not signed and reported by the start of training camp, you may be subject
to certain rules contained in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
I. Accrued Seasons. A player will not receive an Accrued Season toward free agency for
any league year in which the player is under contract to his club and he fails to report
to that club at least thirty (30) days prior to the first regular season game. This is an
important consideration for a player who has played fewer than the minimum number
of Accrued Seasons needed to be an Unrestricted Free Agent (four Accrued Seasons is
the minimum in a capped year and six accrued seasons is the minimum in an uncapped
year such as 2010).
II. Roster Exemption. An unsigned Restricted Free Agent (three but less than six Accrued
Seasons in 2010) can be placed on his club’s Roster Exempt List if he does not sign a
new contract and report to camp at least the day before the club’s second pre-season
game. If he signs and reports after that date, he will lose one or more weeks of regular
season pay depending on how late he signs and reports. A player in this category should
thoroughly review Article XXXII, Section 4 of the CBA and/or have his agent call the
NFLPA Legal Department.
III. Club Discipline. A club may fine any player who is under contract and reports late
to training camp for the 2010 pre-season. That fine was $15,888 per day in 2009, and
that amount will be increased by the percentage growth in total revenues this year to
a maximum of 10%. If the player signed the contract as an Unrestricted Free Agent,
the player can also be fined an additional one week’s regular season salary for each
pre-season game missed.
Knowing these rules and their potential impact on you should assist you in formulating an
effective negotiating strategy. If you have any questions on these or other subjects of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement, please call the NFLPA Legal Department at 800.372.2000.

INJURY GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
AND
SECOND MEDICAL OPINION
Injury Grievances – Your player contract contains important language protecting you if you
become injured while playing for your NFL club. The language provides that if you are injured
while performing services for your club and you promptly report the injury, you are entitled to:
• Receive your salary for the season of injury for as long as you remain physically unable to
play during that season; and,
• Receive necessary treatment, rehabilitation, medical and hospital care.
If you are released by your club in 2010, while still injured and unable to play due to an injury
you suffered with your club in 2010, YOU MUST FILE AN INJURY GRIEVANCE WITHIN 25
DAYS after your release by the club to enforce your rights under your player contract.
You should call the NFLPA as soon as possible after your release so that an injury grievance
can be filed for you and you can be examined by a neutral physician. If the neutral physician finds
that you are still injured and if the club still refuses to pay you, you will be given a hearing before
an arbitrator who will decide your case. An NFLPA attorney will represent you free of charge,
and all hearing expenses will be paid by the NFLPA.
Once you are injured, it is best to keep a diary or good notes of all the important events of your
treatment, especially what you are told by the trainers and doctors. This Player Planner contains
space on the daily calendar for you to do this. If you are released injured, your daily notes will
make you a better witness at your hearing.
Second Medical Opinion – The CBA also gives you the right to get a second medical opinion
concerning an injury from a physician other than your club physician. The club will be responsible
for the expense of the second medical opinion as long as you: (1) Consult with your club before
seeing the second opinion physician; and (2) Provide to your club a copy of the physician’s report
with his or her diagnosis and suggested course of treatment.
In addition, every player for whom surgery becomes necessary has the right, under the CBA,
to select his own surgeon at the club’s expense. This is always advisable, since club physicians, in
many cases, are immune from suit for malpractice under state workers compensation laws.
