Unlike in baseball and the NFL, where early pension can be applied for at age 45, the NBA player is due significant annual benefits at age 30, or the first year he retires.
Williams is now guaranteed to receive at least $1,275 per month in today's dollars from the NFL Players Association pension fund starting on his 55th birthday. And his benefit grows with each season he plays, as do other features of the NFL's retirement plan: A player is eligible for an annuity after his fourth NFL season, and the league's 401(K) plan matches $2 for every $1 contributed. The 10-year veteran who retired in 1998 would receive $51,000 a year, according NFL Players Association Web site.
