Via Mark Maske of the Washington Post, the NFLPA board of player representatives will meet on Friday night to discuss the union's next steps following Thursday night's sudden and surprising resignation of executive director Lloyd Howell.

The NFLPA’s board of player representatives is meeting tonight after the resignation of executive director Lloyd Howell amid multiple controversies, according to Mark Maske of The Washington Post.

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.
