The NFL Players\u2019 Association announced that four members of its executive committee have been replaced after the union\u2019s most recent elections. Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus remains a vice president on the executive committee. Joining him this time around on the 10-man committee is new Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin, who previously served as the Indianapolis Colts\u2019 player representative.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Oren Burks, drafted by Green Bay but now a Cincinnati Bengal, is also a member of the crew.<\/p>\n
For what it\u2019s worth, right tackle Zach Tom was the Packers\u2019 player representative last season with quarterback Jordan Love, tight end Tucker Kraft and safety Zayne Anderson (now with the Miami Dolphins) as co-alternates.<\/p>\n
The big question now is who the NFLPA will vote as its executive director (the leader of the union). Reports have claimed<\/a> that the leaders for the position are interim executive director David White, former chief strategy officer JC Tretter and the commissioner of the American Conference Tim Pernetti.<\/p>\n White was actually favored in a straw poll of players over Lloyd Howell \u2014 who stepped down in scandal in July<\/a> \u2014 when Howell first got the gig with the union. White also comes with baggage, too. While the national executive director of SAG-AFTRA, Deadline reported that White misled the union\u2019s board<\/a> about his threats to sue a film titled An Open Secret, a documentary which covered sex abuse of child actors, unless the director of the film removed all references to the union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL Players\u2019 Association announced that four members of its executive committee have been replaced after the union\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":814667,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2072],"tags":[7,41,345,2702,2514,2513,6,428],"class_list":{"0":"post-814666","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-green-bay","10":"tag-green-bay-packers","11":"tag-green-bay-packers-news","12":"tag-greenbay","13":"tag-greenbaypackers","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-packers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116236788945312654","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
