More changes are coming to the leadership of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), with chief strategy officer JC Tretter stepping down amid recent scrutiny. Tretter's resignation follows a period of increased examination of the organization’s practices and policies, particularly concerning player health and safety.

In his role, Tretter was instrumental in advocating for player rights and working on various initiatives aimed at improving conditions for NFL players. However, the recent wave of criticism surrounding the NFLPA's effectiveness in addressing key issues has led to a reevaluation of leadership roles within the organization.

As the NFLPA navigates this transition, the focus will likely shift to finding a successor who can effectively tackle the challenges ahead. The resignation highlights the ongoing need for transparency and accountability within the union, ensuring that players' voices are prioritized as they seek to enhance their working environment. The NFLPA is expected to make further announcements regarding its leadership structure in the coming days.
