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.
Only retired players who played at least one NFL season prior to 1993 may elect to begin to receive benefits as of their 45th birthday. All other players must wait until age 55. Players who begin drawing their NFL pension before age 55 are penalized for doing so. This is referred to as âearly retirementâ. For example, a player who begins drawing his pension benefits at age 45 would only receive 45.2% of the monthly benefit that he would receive if he waited to draw his NFL pension at age 55. If a player waits until later than his 55th birthday to begin drawing his NFL pension, his monthly benefit will increase.
