players agreed to it, so that should invalidate the deal.

"The letter from attorneys Ben Meiselas and Ray Genco highlights a difference in wording in the section about the league's disability plan that affects hundreds, and potentially thousands, of ex-players who applied for Social Security disability insurance payments before Jan. 1, 2015. In the version the players received and approved, those offsets applied only to players who applied after Jan. 1, 2015."

This is disgusting that the owners tried to pull a fast one over the players, and the NFLPA agreed to it. The new CBA, based on the new language, means that disabled ex players will get less money than the money they would have gotten under the CBA that the players agreed upon.
