Lloyd Howell: The New Executive Director of NFLPA

The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has elected businessman Lloyd Howell to succeed DeMaurice Smith as executive director by the end of 2024. Howell, the former chief financial officer of Booz Allen Hamilton, will work alongside current president JC Tretter. Smith, who has held the position since 2009, can remain in his role until 2024, but Howell may take over before then. Smith's tenure was marked by the 2011 NFL lockout and the negotiation of the current collective bargaining agreement.
