From Staff and Wire Reports
A federal judge has approved a $201,900 settlement by the NFL to players who signed practice player contracts during the 1990 season.
U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth also gave tentative approval Friday to a proposed settlement for practice squad players during the current season.
The matter involves a 1990 class-action lawsuit filed after the NFL in 1989 hired special developmental squad players and paid them $1,000 a week, with no opportunity to negotiate higher pay.
