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.
MLB pensions are reputed to be among the most generous in sports. Players accrue full pension benefits when they achieve 10 years of service time, making them eligible for $200,000 a year for life (the maximum allowed by law in 2012) at the age of 62. The pension is joint-survivor, meaning surviving spouses are entitled to some pension benefits.
