| David Cornwell Sends Agents Letter Opposing DeMaurice Smith As NFLPA Head | | |
According to Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network, attorney David Cornwell sent an 11-page letter to fellow player agents outlining the flaws with current NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith. Smith was elected over Cornwell after the passing of Gene Upshaw. After navigating the players through the lockout and a new collective bargaining agreement, Smith received a $1 million bonus from the NFLPA, but his contract expires in March. Unlike NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who received a five-year contract extension from the owners last week, Smith's return in the new league year is no guarantee. According to La Canfora, the memo criticizes economic issues within the new collective bargaining agreement and criticizes the NFLPA's handling of Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor's five-game suspension when he entered the league through the Supplemental Draft.
