The NFLPA is undergoing a major change in leadership with Lloyd Howell and JC Tretter stepping down from their posts.

The decision comes after a series of controversies facing the NFLPA, including concerns about a potential conflict of interest.

Lloyd Howell Jr. stepped down as executive director of the NFL Players Association on Thursday night following weeks of scrutiny for multiple blunders, including a reported conflict of interest, a decision to hide key parts of an arbitration ruling from the players and new revelations about expensing strip-club trips back to the union.
