The Cincinnati Bengals may be preparing for another competitive AFC season, but center Ted Karras is making headlines for more than just football. In a recent locker room interview, the veteran lineman and NFLPA vice president proposed a reform that could reshape how pension eligibility works for players across the league. During a Labor Day interview, ESPN’s Ben Baby asked the Bengals offensive lineman and NFLPA vice president what one change he’d make to NFL policy—a question that led to a pointed response about a long-standing gap in the league’s benefit structure, which Baby later shared on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
