(source below)I really don't think Players demanding pay increases and/or trades are doing it to pay for their post career health coverage.  Nor is a player that retires from the NFL not able to seek employment elsewhere.As far as guaranteed contracts, a team does pay guaranteed money on most contracts now.  While the team has the right to cut, trade or keep the player, they don't have the contractual right of cutting their pay mid contract.  Sure you can argue that the team has the right to cut a player during the contract, but the team loses that player and any prepaid guarantees.  Meanwhile, the cut player is free to sign a new contract with another team for more, less or the same money.Or are you talking about making these guarantees to players that are cut and never play again in the NFL?<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0710/top-pro-athlete-pension-plans.aspx" target="_blank">https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0710/top-pro-athlete-pension-plans.aspx</a></blockquote>
