NFL PLAYERS
ASSOCIATION
RETIRED
The NFL Players Association Retired was
established in the 1950’s. The association has been investing in retired
players; players who did not meet
the minimum requirements, and players who are
still active within the National Football League.
We, the Buffalo Bills Alumni - Buffalo Chapter, would like to let you,
our fans who have supported us for so long, know that we play a big part in today’s
National Football League Players
Association.
