Memorandum
Memorandum
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
Executive Director

                                                  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,
                          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.

for time to work on achieving unrealistic goals is an unfortunate          year, to do all you believe you want to do, then it’s time to reassess
waste, with the only benefit being a lesson learned the hard way. Be       your priorities. If nothing can be eliminated or put off, then you will
sure to think about time management when you set your goals.               have to work smarter and faster, thus reducing stress.

                        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.
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.

                            guarantee of 100% of a player’s “Paragraph 5 salary” for an eligible player who has completed his
                            fourth or more Credited Season in the NFL. A player is eligible for termination pay if he is:
                            	 1.)	Released after his club’s first regular season game in September, and
                            	 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.)
                            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.
                                                                       32

                         	 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)

Effective Communication
Sending a message does not necessarily mean transmitting a                 One of the best ways to insure that the intended message is
physical thing, such as a letter or telegram. The message can be           received and understood is to be certain to put one’s self in the
“sent” verbally or by sign language. It can be a nod of the head           receiver’s position before sending the message. Then, use words,
or a shaking of the hand. It can be a turning of the palms of the          expressions or gestures that cannot be misunderstood. As a final
hands or the shaking of a finger. These and other devices are ways         assurance, one can always ask the receiver whether the message
of communicating.                                                          is clear and understood.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Important ideas bear repetition. Excellence in communication               The art of listening is a basic attribute in developing excellence. A
demands that the receiver understand the message. It is the                good listener can learn more in a shorter period of time and will
sender’s obligation to ensure that the message has been received           generate greater credibility when he or she is ready for someone
and is understood. This will frequently require considerable tact          else to become the listener. Try to avoid interrupting a person
and diplomacy on the part of the sender. Practice in this area will        who is speaking before that person has completed the thought
lead to excellence.                                                        or idea being expressed.

                          	 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.

Ethical Issues
If there is an ethical issue involved in the decision-making process,      It is important that ethical issues be given fair assessments, just as
it is only one of the many factors to be considered. In some cases,        the economic or happiness impact is assessed. Ethical issues are

Ethical Issues
To determine whether an ethical issue exists, ask yourself some               Am I breaking the law – the same law that I rely on to protect

                          	 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.
                                                                        64

    Good time management has a relevance to good goal planning.                                                         If you find that there aren’t enough hours in the day, week, month or

    Evening	                                                                           Evening
                          	 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?

                       		 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.

                     	 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.
                     	 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.
                     	 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.

                      	 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

                      	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

Gaining Respect
Nowhere does your respect for yourself show more visibly than              Of equal importance, and of greater critical impact, is the discipline
in physical fitness. Carrying out the suggestions in the planner           of avoiding those things which can destroy your mind and your body.
regarding weight control and exercise is an important contributor          Saying “No” to drugs before you start is much easier than trying to
to your respect for your body.                                             say “No more” to drugs later on. So why not take the easiest way
                                                                           and stop before you start?

                      	 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,
                      	 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.
                                                                      140
