Posted in Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post reports the NFL Players Association has reacted to the NFL announcement from earlier today that it’s about to deposit $177 million toward player benefits with the decertifed playes’ union saying the league should announce that the lockout is over in its next press release.
“NFL players would like to thank the NFL for issuing a press release touting their contractual and legal obligations,” the NFLPA said in an e-mailed statement. “If it wasn’t for players, namely John Gordy, players wouldn’t have any benefits. The next press release that comes from the NFL should announce that the owners have lifted the lockout, the ultimate benefit to players and fans.”
