The NFLPA, under executive director Lloyd Howell Jr., faces significant internal criticism and allegations of collusion with team owners. Recent reports suggest Howell's possible resignation is due to conflicts of interest, including his consultancy with the Carlyle Group. The NFLPA executive committee attempted to reassure players with a statement rejecting rumors of leadership disputes but failed to quell concerns. The statement emphasized their commitment to work with Howell, aiming for unity and a focus on player interests as the 2025 season approaches.
As members of the NFLPA Executive Committee, we categorically reject false reports insinuating doubts within this committee or suggestions that we have asked our Executive Director to step down.
The NFLPA Executive Committee emphasized its commitment to working with the Executive Director and other members of NFLPA staff and player leadership who have a shared mission.
A union facing controversy implicating its executive director should take decisive action and ensure its members that their best interests are being protected.
Lloyd Howell Jr. is perceived as either a pushover for owners or someone whose interests are actively aligned against those of the players.
