They were talking about this on Ross Tucker's show the other day. What is known about concussions and CTE, is that it is most often not one injury, but a succession of injuries. The plan being most talked about is doing away with youth football, and not letting kids play until the high school level to do away with hits on the head in youngsters. Also, Ross said he expects to see more and more players that get to the NFL get to their second contract, which is where they get the life changing money, play out 3-4 years of said contract, and retire. To me, that is the solution that makes the most sense, get the money and get out before you get the extensive damage, whether it be to knees, brain, whatever....
I think the rookie wage scale will be scrapped in the next CBA. With guys playing shorter careers, especially with the devaluation of running backs, they will want more money in contract #1.
