They likely offered you an inducement (severance pay) in exchange for you agreeing to a contract that precludes disparagement or other action. If they did coerce or force you into signing, the contract is null and void and you should see an attorney. Were you offered any severance above and beyond your due wages?

This was my experience too. I took the vacation pay but passed on signing the non-disparagement paperwork. The later paperwork was offered with a couple of weeks of pay incentive.
