The NFL Players Association, reeling from criminal investigations into misused funds, resignations at the top and unapproved strip club expenditures, badly needed a win this summer. It found one -- in NFL ownership's couch cushions. The players received a substantial windfall in the second round of this year's NFL draft, benefiting from fully guaranteed contracts for seven players in the round -- and potentially an eighth once Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (the 36th overall pick) signs his deal.

The NFL Players Association placed one of its top lawyers, Heather McPhee, on paid administrative leave after multiple employees filed complaints against her workplace conduct.

J.C. Tretter announced his resignation as the NFLPA chief strategy officer, citing personal challenges affecting his family, stating, "I have no interest in being [executive director]." He mentioned a departure from the NFLPA, where he has served since 2024, indicating he feels he has nothing left to contribute to the organization.
