Jalen Reeves-Maybin is re-elected as president of the NFLPA Board of Player Representatives

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jalen Reeves-Maybin was re-elected as president of the NFL Players Association’s Board of Player Representatives on Sunday.

The nine-year pro begins his second two-year term.

“I’m honored that the Board has trusted me to continue serving as president,” Reeves-Maybin said in a statement. “There’s important work ahead and I’m looking forward to continue advocating on behalf of our membership to protect our rights and advance our interests.”

Reeves-Maybin played for the Chicago Bears last season. He spent seven seasons with the Detroit Lions over two stints and also played one season with the Houston Texans.

The Board also elected four new players to serve on the Executive Committee:

Tanoh Kpassagnon will serve as treasurer. The nine-year defensive end played last season with the Bears and previously served as an alternate player representative.

Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, New York Jets defensive lineman Harrison Phillips and Green Bay Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin also were elected.

They will join returning Executive Committee members Oren Burks, Cam Heyward, Ted Karras, Case Keenum, Brandon McManus and Thomas Morstead, who were all re-elected Sunday.

Russell Wilson confirms he’s retiring from the NFL to join CBS Sports

NEW YORK (AP) — Ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson confirmed Wednesday in a video posted to social media that that he's retiring from the NFL to take a job with CBS Sports. Wilson's announcement came two days after news broke that he was finalizing a deal to become an analyst on CBS' Sunday NFL pregame show. “As I enter this next chapter with CBS Sports and ‘The NFL Today,’ I’m so blessed to continue doing what I love most — being around the greatest game in the world,” he said in the video. Wilson played 14 seasons after being taken by Seattle in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft out of N.C. State. He spent his first 10 seasons with the Seahawks, leading them to their first Super Bowl championship in the 2013 season. He was traded to Denver after the 2021 season and spent two rocky years with the Broncos before playing one season in Pittsburgh and another for the New York Giants.
