Browns center JC Tretter is going to get another term as the president of the NFL Players Association. According to a report from NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero, Tretter will serve another two-year term as the NFLPA president.
Per Pelissero, Tretter will earn the second term without any opposition from any other player. He has guided the NFL and NFLPA through some interesting times, including the COVID-19 pandemic and all the associated protocols that were not universally popular within the player’s union. Tretter has a degree in labor relations from Cornell.
Tretter has started at center every game but one over the last five seasons. He missed the Christmas Day game against the Green Bay Packers on the COVID-19 reserve list. He is entering the final year of his contract with the Browns and has been the subject of speculation that he could be released in a maneuver that would save Cleveland over $8 million in cap room for 2022.
#Browns center JC Tretter will be elected to a second term as NFLPA president, per sources.
No one else was nominated at the union’s annual rep meeting, so Tretter is running unopposed and will retain the top player leadership post for another two years.
