It’s been an interesting week for Cleveland Browns center and NFLPA president J.C. Tretter. First, he was the face of the NFL’s decision to postpone three games over the weekend, including his own team’s, with the conspiracy theory being that he exercised undue influence to coax the league into reaching that decision.
This week, Tretter claims that the NFL was actually leaning toward canceling those three games, rather than postponing them, and it was his and the union’s position that the games must be played, even if it meant postponement, so that the players would get their checks.
