In June 2020, Monique posted a video of her husband walking with a noticeable limp. In another post from March of that year, she showed Pass being evaluated by ‘top neurologist doctor Mr. Norman Gordon.’

According to Monique, he now relies on total and permanent disability benefits, which could be limited if the current NFL players union votes to approve the owners’ CBA proposal before Saturday’s deadline.

She directed another tweet at Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Russel Okung, who recently filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, contending the NFLPA negotiated the agreement with the league in bad faith. She wrote,

Good morning Russell,”My husband is a former NFL player Patrick Pass from NE PATRIOTS 2000-2007 .. we got the news yesterday about taking money away from former players on T&P!! My husband’s exact words this morning if this passes they will see a lot of suicides.’
