Yeah this law stuff is way past me but that is how I understand it as well.

Quote:"If this amendment is passed, any athlete who remained under contract with an Ohio team (or any other team) would have their claims expire five years from the date of their work-related injury," the NFLPA writes.

So I think the idea is, "Hey we employed you as an athlete but you should not be able to hit us with a claim five years after the fact."  Or it could be they are lobbying for the comp benefits to expire 5 years after the claim? I don't know.  My guess is in a few days this will be a non-story.
