JC Tretter Elected NFLPA Executive Director
JC Tretter, elected after a search of 300+ candidates, will lead NFLPA negotiations amid rising player salaries and ongoing collective bargaining agreement talks.
On March 17, the NFLPA's board of player representatives elected JC Tretter as executive director after interviews at the Hotel Del Coronado, San Diego.
After Lloyd Howell's July resignation, the NFLPA launched a confidential search, conducting a deliberate process echoing 2023 that kept candidates private at JC Tretter's request.
Tretter's résumé includes eight NFL seasons and service as NFLPA president from 2020 to 2024, during which he helped launch the Team Report Cards.
He'll lead negotiations for the next CBA, with the league's push for an 18th game a key issue, starting after April 1, NFLPA's official start date.
Legal and licensing fights, plus reported private-sector ties, leave questions about conflicts of interest as union legal costs surged through 2025 and sources said JC Tretter ran unopposed.
