Executive Director Lloyd Howell Jr. has stepped down from his role amid various controversies, including reports on Friday that he expensed the union for trips to strip clubs.

A common refrain about the union is that it belongs to the players. But NFLPA president Jalen Reeves-Maybin has hardly been heard from since taking over in April 2024. A 2017 fourth-round pick and 2023 second-team All Pro, Reeves-Maybin is currently a linebacker and special teamer without a team after being released by the Lions this offseason.
