The decision comes after a series of controversies facing the NFLPA, including concerns about a potential conflict of interest.

The NFLPA is undergoing a major change in leadership with Lloyd Howell and JC Tretter stepping down from their posts.

JC Tretter, the union’s chief strategy officer, is resigning from his position and removing himself from consideration to be the NFLPA’s interim executive director, he told CBS Sports on Sunday. The news comes in the wake of executive director Lloyd Howell Jr.’s resignation last Thursday.
