No, the NFL Hall of Famers are not paid any special amount outside their pension. They are treated similarly to other retired NFL footballers.

In 2018, a bunch of Hall of Famers sent a letter to the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other chief executives demanding higher annual salaries and health insurance. Eric Dickerson signed the letter.

They stated $300K as the desired sum. Carl Eller, Marcus Allen, Jim Brown, Curtis Martin, Mike Haynes, and others were part of the group. The move was criticized by ex-footballers as it only spoke about the benefits for the HOF and not the entire retired ones.

Currently, the annual average pension is $46,000. But, they need to meet specific criteria to receive the amount.

One of the most important is the three-season criteria. As the main squad roster member, one must have played for three seasons in the league.

Likewise, the sportsperson can claim the sum only after age 55. If someone wishes to draw the amount before that, they will receive less amount with the deduction of penalties.

The pension scheme was introduced in 1965, and ex-players have benefited since then.

Similarly, retired sportspersons are liable for medical insurance for five years after declaring their retirement. After that phase, premiums can cost $35K or more.

They are also subjected to inactive life insurance, discount prescription benefits, and more.

NFL has a Dedicated Hospital Network Program designated to serve health facilities up to $25K annually.

The 401K plan or the Second Career Savings Plan also helps the former players rip off some medical benefits and aid in living expenses, among other benefits.
