The NFL may pay as much as $112.5 million in attorney fees to class counsel in the proposed NFL concussion settlement. The attorney fees and expenses will not come out of the $765 million settlement fund announced in August. This brings the total NFL liability to around $900 million.
The legal fees are actually less than reports at the time of the settlement announcement, which pegged the legal fees at over $200 million. The attorney fees represent about 6.8 percent of the settlement fund.
