Steelers NFLPA rep expects work stoppage in 2021 over drug policy

Steelers NFLPA rep Ramon Foster is warning players to brace for a work stoppage in 2021 when the current collective bargaining agreement expires, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

“Hit them in the pocket. That way, money always talks,” Foster said. “For us to do that, we have to save on our end. We can’t be just blowing money and not realize what’s coming, especially with guys coming into the league now.”

The comments come in light of two drug suspensions handed down to his teammates; Le’Veon Bell was given a four-game suspension, which was negotiated down to three, and Martavis Bryant was banned for the entire season.
