PHILADELPHIA — The NFL has agreed to spend close to $800 million to diagnose and compensate potentially hundreds of retired players who may be suffering from dementia and other brain disorders they blame on the violent, bone-jarring collisions that pro football has long celebrated in its highlight reels.
The settlement, which is subject to approval by a federal judge, was announced Thursday after months of court-ordered mediation. It came just days before the first game of the 2013 season, removing a major legal and financial threat hanging over the NFL.
More than 4,500 former athletes — some suffering from dementia, depression or Alzheimer's that they blamed on blows to the head — have sued the NFL since the first case was filed in Philadelphia in 2011. They accused the league of concealing the long-term dangers of concussions and rushing injured players back onto the field, while glorifying and profiting from the game's violence.
The settlement would cover all 18,000 former NFL players and totals $765 million, the vast majority of which would go to compensate athletes with certain neurological ailments. It would also set aside $75 million for medical exams and $10 million for medical research.
Individual payouts would be capped at $5 million for men with Alzheimer's disease; $4 million for those diagnosed after their deaths with a brain condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy; and $3 million for players with dementia, said lead plaintiffs' lawyer Christopher Seeger.
The NFL has insisted that safety has always been a top priority, and in settling the thousands of cases it admitted no wrongdoing.
''This agreement lets us help those who need it most and continue our work to make the game safer for current and future players,'' NFL executive vice president Jeffrey Pash said in a statement. He added: ''We thought it was critical to get more help to players and families who deserve it rather than spend many years and millions of dollars on litigation.''
He said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the team owners told pro football's lawyers to ''do the right thing for the game and for the men who played it.''
The plaintiffs include Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon and the family of Pro Bowl selection Junior Seau, who committed suicide last year.
Kevin Turner, a former running back with the Patriots and Eagles who has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, thanked the two sides for reaching an agreement that he thought most ex-players would support.
''Chances are ... I won't make it to 50 or 60,'' said Turner, now 44. ''I have money now to put back for my children to go to college and for a little something to be there financially.''
All former NFL players are eligible to seek care, screening or compensation. The amounts they receive will be based on their age, condition and years of play.
Players' lawyers said they expect the fund to cover the ex-athletes' expenses for 65 years. Current players are not covered.
Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody in Philadelphia announced the proposed agreement and will consider approving it at a later date.
The settlement most likely means the NFL won't have to disclose internal files about what it knew, and when, about concussion-linked brain problems. Some observers had warned that the lawsuits could cost the league $1 billion or more if they were allowed to move forward in court.
''I think it's more important that the players have finality, that they're vindicated, and that as soon as the court approves the settlement they can begin to get screening, and those that are injured can get their compensation. I think that's more important than looking at some documents,'' said lawyer Sol Weiss of Philadelphia, who filed the first lawsuit on behalf of former Atlanta Falcon Ray Easterling and a few others. Easterling later committed suicide.
In court arguments before Brody in April, the NFL asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuits and send them to arbitration under terms of the players' contract. The league argued that individual teams bear the chief responsibility for health and safety under the collective bargaining agreement, along with the players' union and the players themselves.
But the players' lawyers accused the NFL of concealing for decades studies linking concussions to neurological problems.
Dorsett said each day is getting harder for him, as he struggles with memory problems.
''It's frustrating. Frustrating. And to have a 10-year old daughter who says to her mother, 'Daddy can't do this because Daddy won't remember how to do it,' it's not a good feeling,'' he said. ''I'm glad to see there's been ... acknowledgment that football has had something to do with a lot of the issues us players are going through right now.''
In recent years, a string of former NFL players and other athletes who suffered concussions have been diagnosed after their deaths with CTE, including both Seau and Easterling. More than 4,500 former players eventually joined the litigation. The number of claims, including spouses and survivors, could top 20,000, the NFL said.
While some of those who sued suffered brain ailments, others were worried about future problems and wanted their health monitored.
The lawsuits and a growing awareness that concussions — once routinely laughed off by football players as ''Getting your bell rung'' — can have serious long-term effects have already spurred research into better helmets and changed the way the game is played.
The NFL has instituted rule changes designed to eliminate hits to the head and neck, protect defenseless players, and prevent athletes who have had concussions from playing or practicing until they are fully recovered. Independent neurologists must be consulted before a player can return to action.
One key rule change that takes effect this season bars ball carriers from using the crown of the helmet to make contact with defenders.
AP Sports Writers Howard Fendrich in New York and Nancy Armour in Chicago contributed to this report.

Robin Izzo, the associate director for laboratory safety at Princeton University, has been named director of the University's Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). Her appointment is effective March 1.
She will succeed current EHS director Garth Walters, who will retire from Princeton at the end of February after working at the University for 36 years, including 15 years as EHS director.
Izzo has worked in EHS for more than 20 years, serving as associate director for laboratory safety since 2006. She has played a leading role in the University's laboratory safety program, industrial hygiene program and emergency preparedness efforts. Izzo will report to Treby Williams, the University's assistant vice president for safety and administrative planning.
"Robin has been an outstanding leader of our laboratory safety program and is extremely respected by her University colleagues, as well as her peers nationally," Williams said. "She will bring to the director position her deep knowledge of Princeton and strong relationships with campus partners, together with the expertise and perspective she gains from her extensive work in state and national environmental management organizations."
As director of EHS, Izzo will oversee a staff of 13 people, which includes biologists, chemists, health physicists, an industrial hygienist and safety engineers who deliver services and programs across the University in laboratory safety and industrial hygiene; radiation safety; biosafety and environmental health; and workplace safety.
"I have been privileged to work with Garth Walters, the current director, for the past 21 years as our office has taken on new challenges," Izzo said. "I am very excited and honored to lead such an effective and well-respected team, who have formed strong academic and administrative campus partnerships to support a safe, healthy and sustainable University community."
Izzo helped develop an extensive University laboratory safety program that includes faculty, staff and student trainings, inspection programs and pollution prevention efforts. In 2011, the American Chemical Society and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health recognized Princeton as the most comprehensive laboratory safety program in higher education.
In her current position, Izzo coordinates 13 chemical hygiene officers in science and engineering departments.
Izzo also has helped coordinate the University's emergency preparedness efforts. She serves on the Emergency Preparedness Steering Committee, which develops emergency plans for individual offices and the entire campus. She helped oversee the launch of PTENS, the University's emergency notification system for faculty, staff and students.
As a representative of EHS, Izzo has served on the Princeton Sustainability Committee, which monitors progress against and sets strategies to achieve the goals of the Princeton Sustainability Plan.
A nationally recognized expert, Izzo has published numerous articles on laboratory safety and environmental management. She has served in leadership positions in both state and national organizations and is chair of the American Chemical Society's Laboratory and Waste Management Task Force. Izzo received a 2007 Knighthood Award from the New Jersey Campus Health and Environmental Safety Society for distinguished achievement.
Prior to joining Princeton in 1992, Izzo served as chemical safety specialist at the University of Vermont and managed chemical safety and laboratory programs at Harvard University.
Izzo earned a master of science in environmental science from the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Today she's the world-famous survivor of a Taliban assassination attempt, an activist for girls' education - and a contender to win the Nobel Peace Prize later this week.
It's easy to forget she is still a teenager, and now a long way from home.
The memoir "I Am Malala" goes some way toward redressing that balance. Published around the world on Tuesday, the book reveals a girl who likes "Ugly Betty" and the cooking show "Masterchef," worries about her clothes and her hair, but also has an iron determination that comes from experience beyond her 16 years.
The book, written with the British journalist Christina Lamb, recounts Malala's life before and after the moment on Oct. 9, 2012, when a gunman boarded a school bus full of girls in Pakistan's Swat Valley and asked "Who is Malala?" Then he shot her in the head.
The shooting is described briefly but vividly in the book, which is briskly written but full of arresting detail. "The air smelt of diesel, bread and kebab mixed with the stink from the stream where people still dumped their rubbish," Malala remembers. One of her friends tells her later that the gunman's hand shook as he fired.
Around that pivotal event, the book weaves Malala's life story into the broader tale of her home region of Swat, a remote, mountainous region near the Afghan border. She says it is "the most beautiful place in the world," but it's also a crossroads traversed for millennia by armies and invaders, from Alexander the Great to Winston Churchill.
Into this valley, in the years after 9/11 and the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, came the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban. The book describes their arrival - preaching against girls' education, shutting down DVD sellers and barber shops and displaying the bodies of people they've executed. They blew up the region's ancient Buddha statues, and then they began blowing up schools.
"They destroyed everything old and brought nothing new," Malala writes.
Malala considers herself a believing Muslim and a proud member of the Pashtun ethnic group, but recounts how from an early age she questioned her culture's attitude toward women.
"When I was born, people in our village commiserated with my mother and nobody congratulated my father," she writes.
Her father felt differently. The book recounts her debt to Ziauddin Yousafzai, an educator who founded the school Malala attended and kept it open to girls in the face of pressure and threats. He passed on to his daughter a hunger for knowledge and a questioning spirit.
At 11, she began giving TV interviews in Pakistan about girls' education. In 2009, she started writing a blog for the BBC Urdu service under a pseudonym.
She soon became well known within Pakistan - and therefore a potential Taliban target. But she was reassured by the thought: "Even the Taliban don't kill children."
That optimism proved misplaced, but - miraculously, it seemed to many - Malala survived the shooting.
The final part of the book describes Malala's life from the moment she regained consciousness in a British hospital, where she had been flown for specialist treatment, with the thought: "Thank God I'm not dead."
She undergoes intense pain and multiple surgeries. In the hospital, Malala asks why her abdomen appears hard and swollen. It is the top of her skull, removed to alleviate pressure and stored there until it could be reattached.
There are other striking, surprising details. Malaala's favorite actress is Angelina Jolie. She loves the TV show "Ugly Betty," whose central character works at a fashion magazine; Malala dreams "of one day going to New York and working on a magazine like her."
In the hospital she enjoys the "Shrek" movies, but is shocked by the scene in "Bend it Like Beckham" when the female soccer players take off their jerseys to reveal sports bras.
She reads "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" - sent to her by former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown - and identifies with Dorothy, trying to get home.
Malala goes to school in England now, and lives with her family in a house behind a big gate in the city of Birmingham. It reminds her a bit of being under house arrest.
The Malala Fund set up in her name campaigns for girls' education around the world. She has received multiple awards and addressed the United Nations on her 16th birthday. Later this month she is due to meet Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.
She remains determined to return to Pakistan one day and enter politics. And she says the Taliban's attempt to silence her has backfired spectacularly.
"When I was shot they thought the people would be silenced, they thought that no one would talk," she told the BBC in a recent interview.
"I think they might be repenting why they shot Malala."

The Haskell Implementors Workshop is an informal affair, aimed at bringing together people behind the Haskell infrastructure. It provides a forum where people working on compilers, tools, or libraries for Haskell development can bat around ideas, share experiences and ask for feedback from fellow experts. There are no proceedings, just a mixture of short talks, longer talks, discussion and demos.
The Haskell Implementors Workshop will run again this year, co-located with ICFP 2012.
