JC Tretter, executive director of the NFL Players Association, emphasizes the need to identify players' priorities before engaging in negotiations with the NFL. Tretter acknowledges the league's goals, such as expanding the regular season and lowering players' revenue shares, but asserts that player interests must also be clearly defined. He has no immediate plans to begin negotiations, noting the existing Collective Bargaining Agreement is in place until March 2031. As the NFL seeks to expand its international reach and season length, Tretter is committed to understanding the players' stance, highlighting the potential for drastic measures like strikes if necessary.
