NFL players do not qualify to receive pension until they reach 55 years of age. At the age of 55, they will start to receive $470 a month for each season that they played. For instance, if they played for three seasons, they will be paid out $1,410 per month.
There is no pension. NFL players are contractors, not W2 employees.
In order to receive an NFL pension players must have played in the league for at least 3 years. The exact monthly amount received will be based on the number of seasons played.
Joe Montana's NFL pension amount is not publicly disclosed, as specific pension details are typically kept private. However, former NFL players generally receive a pension based on their years of service and the collective bargaining agreement in place at the time of their retirement. Given Montana's illustrious career and the length of time he played, it's likely that his pension is substantial, but exact figures are not available.

In 1970, the average NFL player lasted nearly five years in the league. By 1986, he had a three-year stay, a downward trend that continued as the league adopted more pass-happy formations, such as the West Coast offense, according to the NFL Players Association. A vested NFL player (meaning they get their pension after retirement) has to play a least 4 years. It's a short stay for most and this is why you see athletes trying to get the most money from NFL owners. Most NFL players as of 2010 play for an average of 10 years, but it also depends on the position that you play and the shape that you are in.
Arena players are not any faster or slower than NFL players. Arena football is just another route for people who don't make it to the NFL right away. There are MORE skill players than in the NFL, but they are not individually faster.
Baseball has a sliding scale pension plan that pays players based on service time. I believe if you were on an active roster for at least 43 days in your career you qualify. The minimum pension is $1,000/mo ($24k/year) and the plan goes up to $180,000 for players with 10+ years of service. The plan starts paying at age 62.

Earl Campbell, like many former NFL players, receives a pension that varies based on his years of service and salary during his career. While specific figures for Campbell's monthly pension aren't publicly disclosed, it's known that NFL pensions can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per month. Given Campbell's status as a Hall of Famer and his lengthy career, his pension is likely on the higher end of that spectrum.
