[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 499496, member: 1007"] I hate when people try to claim the "Average career is only three years," because the "NFL Average" stat is faulty at best. The reason why it appears to be an "Average" of three years is because you have very high turnover on the lower end of the roster- Players who get signed for a year, play special teams or fill in for a season or two due to injury, and then are cut the following year. I won't dispute that they may receive injuries that have significant and long term health effects. My argument is, when these players on the lower end of the roster have careers that begin in high school and college, yet only play a season or two in the NFL, how responsible should the NFL really be for their healthcare?
