JC Tretter says NFLPA not rushing new CBA negotiations
Summary

JC Tretter, executive director of the NFL Players Association, stated that there is no urgency to negotiate a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, Tretter explained that the current CBA lasts for five more seasons, and any potential discussions will wait until he speaks with players across all 32 teams. He emphasized the importance of understanding the players' interests before any formal negotiations can begin. With five years remaining on the current deal, Tretter noted that concerns about a work stoppage are premature, as significant time remains before the current agreement expires.
