Browns center JC Tretter re-elected players’ union president

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns center JC Tretter has been re-elected for a second term as president of the NFL Players Association. The union announced Tretter’s unanimous re-election. The 31-year-old Tretter has guided the NFLPA through two turbulent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He had a major role in collaborating with the league in protocols to keep players safe. Tretter’s first term began just days before the league and union agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement that avoided a work stoppage and added a 17th game to the regular-season schedule. Tretter has played five seasons with the Browns.
