According to ESPN.com, the league said Tuesday (April 5) that star quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers were among those receiving up to $50,000 for their respective foundations.
Despite the current litigation going on between the NFL and the NFL Players Association regarding the players' lockout injunction request, NFL Charities has given more than $17 million to player foundations over the past two decades.
Manning and Brees are two of the 10 players who put their names on the antitrust suit filed against the league.
Other current and former players receiving grants include Nnamdi Asomugha, Derrick Brooks, Cris Collinsworth, Doug Flutie, David Garrard, Tony Gonzalez, Torry Holt, Jim Kelly, John Lynch, Anthony Munoz, Chad Pennington, Junior Seau, LaDainian Tomlinson, Mike Utley, Troy Vincent, Kurt Warner and Steve Young.
