The Associated Press reports that the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has settled a lawsuit with retired football players yesterday.

The suit was filed in 2007 by Hall of Fame cornerback Herb Adderley. The lawsuit stems from the NFLPA not actively persuing money for retired players when it came to NFL awarding licensing contracts with video game publishers.

In November 2008 a federal jury awarded $28.1 million to the players. The NFLPA appealed that ruling in February but settled yesterday at $26.25 million. This settlement ends the appeal process.

On May 9th, Samuel Keller, a former football player for the Arizona State and Nebraksa had filed a class-action suit against EA, NCAA and Collegiate Licensing Company in regards to players appearance in the NCAA football, NCAA Basketball, and NCAA March Madness video game franchises.
