Mawae said, "The biggest concern right now is that we have some young players who do not have insurance and who have to pay COBRA and who may not have the ability to pay on COBBRA the long term. "
COBRA allows players to keep their former levels of coverage, but they must pay the full premium, which averages $ 2,400 per month for a family. NFL Plans are more expensive than the average Medicare policies, but they offer generous benefits.
If Mawae wanted public sympathy, so it is doubtful NFL players will receive. According to Sports Illustrated , the minimum salary for a rookie is $ 320,000 and the average salary is close to $ 2 million. But NFL players will not get another paycheck until contracts are negotiated which is uncertain when it will happen.
Mawae also noted that the NFLPA has worked with players to prepare for the lockout so that they would be financially prepared but they worry the people who have not saved enough for period time.
After the declaration of Mawae, commissioner Roger Goodell NFL took the time to send later for players asking the union to start negotiating with the NFL again.
