Lawyer Jeffrey Kessler indicated that he plans to raise concerns about a potential Collective Bargaining Agreement violation with the NFLPA. A source indicated that the union is uncertain whether it has grounds to challenge the NFL's decision. In a complex situation, supporting Sorsby could affect the employment of current union members.
