NFL pension value increases periodically and is the same for all players regardless of salary. Currently, a player with the minimum three years of play would receive an annual pension check of $21,360 at retirement.
Pensions are becoming rarer and rarer in the U.S. In fact, only 7% of companies now offer traditional pension benefits. The NFL is one of the places that still offers this type of retirement benefit. Pension benefits in the NFL, like that of any other job, are based on the amount of time players are employed by the NFL. To be eligible for pension benefits in the NFL, a player must play for three years.
