A text message questioning the loyalty and leadership of NFL Players Association Chief Strategy Officer JC Tretter has been circulating among NFL players, sparking concerns about his future with the organization. The message, obtained by sources, lists several incidents in which Tretter allegedly broke rules and hid information from members.
Tretter was a key figure in the hiring process for NFLPA Executive Director Lloyd Howell, who is now out of a job. After Howell’s departure, Tretter took on his new role, but questions have lingered about his actions. The text message accuses Tretter of bending rules to hire Howell, covering up Howell’s background check, and keeping information from arbitration decisions that found him in violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The controversy has led some members of the NFLPA executive committee to consider naming Tretter as interim executive director, a move that would be unprecedented. If true, it highlights a broader issue – players are not paying attention to union business, allowing a small group to make decisions without accountability.
