DeMaurice Smith will remain in his position as the NFL Players Association's executive director.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported the NFLPA's board of representatives voted to retain him for another term. While eight members voted against Smith and two abstained, he received the minimum 22 votes to stay on board.
ESPN's Dan Graziano explained Smith will now need to negotiate a new contract with the NFLPA, which could be as little as one year because there is no specific required term length.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN shared a statement from the NFLPA that revealed Smith was "transparent with us about his interest in moving on after this term and for the stability and security of our union, he will work with our player leadership to ensure we have a succession plan in place for the next leader.
