The NFL Players Association is currently meeting in San Diego. The union has already addressed a rather important issue.
Free agent linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin was re-elected NFLPA president.

The union announced the results on Sunday evening.
“I am honored that the board of directors has trusted me to continue serving as president,” Reeves-Maybin said in a statement. “There is important work ahead, and I look forward to continuing to advocate on behalf of our members to protect our rights and advance our interests.”
Six former members of the executive committee were re-elected: Oren Burks, Cam Heyward, Ted Karras, Case Keenum, Brandon McManus and Thomas Morstead.
The four new Executive Committee members are Tanoh Kpassagnon (Treasurer), Jonathan Greenard, Harrison Phillips and Zaire Franklin.

According to NFLPA rules, if Reeves-Maybin does not play in the 2025 game, he will not be eligible to run again. The Bears added him to the roster late in the season, renewing his service eligibility.
Reeves-Maybin was re-elected despite a tumultuous 2025 that included a baffling decision to conceal a partial victory in a collusion case against the league and the resignation of executive director Lloyd Howell. It’s unclear whether there is any opposition to his bid for president.
In the coming days, the NFLPA will elect a new executive director. Candidates include interim executive director David White, former NFLPA president and former NFLPA chief strategy officer JC Tretter and Conference USA commissioner Tim Pernetti.
Tretter is widely considered the favorite to win the job. He served as president during the hiring of Howell. This could be a disaster for the union.
