More than 100 former NFL players are opposing the proposed settlement of a class action against the league's disability plan. The objections stem from concerns that the settlement could cost them millions in benefits and restrict their ability to opt out of the agreement. Among those objecting are Mike Vick, Willis McGahee, and Ricky Williams, who argue that the settlement undermines their rights. Vaughn Booker criticized the approach of the NFL and its counsel, alleging an attempt to entrap non-white players. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for October 20.
