OPEN LETTER TO ALL NFL PLAYERS CURRENTLY INACTIVE OR RETIRED

June 2, 2009

At the recently concluded 25^th Anniversary NFLPA Retired Players Convention in Palm Springs, California, the retired players passed a unanimous resolution joining the active NFL Players in their demand calling on the NFL owners to provide independently audited financial statements for their member teams.

In a second unanimous resolution, it was resolved to reach out to all our retired brothers to unify for this single demand for independent financial statements from the NFL teams because it was the NFL that cancelled our Collective Bargaining Agreement.

We will continue to work for the improvement of the pension and disability system and other benefits for all retired NFL Players.

We believe that there is only one locker room and there is only one team. Active, inactive or retired, we are all NFL Players.

~ONE LOCKER ROOM ONE TEAM~
