Well not if the NFLPA has anything to do about it b/c of that new IL bill.
That really won't have any affect of it. The more I found out about the situation the more I realized it wasn't a big deal and was exaggerated a good amount. There are numerous teams in the NFL that do not offer any workers comp once they are out of the league. The Bears may be lowering the age but they would still be offering it which is more than what other teams can say.
When it's all said and done a player is going to choose the more favorable contract over worrying about worker's comp.

And of course we can always trust Sweaty Teddy. Right? The man is a football genius. He is the architect of the Bears getting a #3 overall pick of the draft. And fans who say we should have a football guy in charge should be ashamed. No "football guy" would have achieved a #3 draft pick position.
