Weve learned that the NFL Players Association has hired new counsel for the StarCaps litigation regarding five player suspensions arising from the taking of an over-the-counter weight-loss supplement that had been tainted with a prescription diuretic. Its unclear whether this means that primary outside counsel Jeff Kessler will still be involved in the representation of the NFLPA in this case. Either way, the involvement of new counsel doesnt bode well for Kesslers ongoing status as the unions go-to guy for all legal matters.
