NFL Players Union Appealing Ruling in Collusion Case, AP Source Says
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The NFL Players Association is appealing an arbitration ruling that found league executives urged owners to limit guaranteed money in contracts after Deshaun Watson's record $230 million deal.
- The NFL Players Association elected to appeal a January 14 arbitration ruling due to a confidentiality agreement with the NFL, according to an AP source.
- Arbitrator Christopher Droney found insufficient evidence of owner collusion in contract negotiations, but noted that NFL officials encouraged restrictions on guaranteed money.
- The arbitration ruling was shared only with select league and union executives under the confidentiality agreement.
- The NFL Players Association stated that the appeal is a reflection of its obligation to enforce the collective bargaining agreement and its commitment to protecting players' interests.
