    Senior US District Judge Anita Brody approved deal on Wednesday
    Settlement includes allowing for monetary awards up to $5million per claimant for serious conditions connected to repeated head trauma
    NFL expects 6,000 of nearly 20,000 retired players to suffer from Alzheimers disease or moderate dementia someday
    Wednesday's settlement would pay them about $190,000 on average
    About 200 NFL retirees or their families have rejected the settlement and plan to sue the league individually
