| + | Getty ImagesAs the dust begins to settle on the settlement of the NFL s concussion litigation, some intriguing twists will emerge. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For example, former Saints defensive back Steve Gleason, who has spent the past few years valiantly battling ALS, is eligible for a seven-figure payment even though he didn t sue the NFL. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Because the settlement expands the pool of 4,500-plus plaintiffs into a class that encompasses all retired players and creates a system for ensuring that only men with severe cognitive impairment will be compensated, Gleason automatically is eligible. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Under the formula that has been created,[Official http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598], he can get up to $5 million from the $675 million compensation fund. | ||
| + | |||
| + | On one hand, Gleason may not want the money, given that he didn t sue. ?On the other hand, that money (which most likely will be paid out tax free) can go a long way toward securing a fruitful future for Gleason and his family. ?More importantly,[http://bbs.093.com/ Whats With All These Walls Sneaking Up On P], Gleason will become legally entitled to compensation under the settlement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The fact that Gleason can get up to $5 million despite never suing underscores the tensions that undoubtedly will emerge as the lawyers try to persuade those who sued and who stand to get far less,[New http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/], if anything to accept the deal. ?Some of the men who undertook the risk of filing will resent the idea that those who chose not to sue will receive seven-figure payouts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It will be delicate for currently healthy men who sued to complain about money going to those who have ALS. ?But it s one of the complications that will have to be dealt with as the settlement begins its journey through what could be a bumpy approval process.</html> | ||
