Free agent linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin has been re-elected to a second term as president of the NFLPA.

The union announced the result on Sunday night.
“I am honored that the Board has trusted me to continue serving as president,” Reeves-Maybin said in a statement. “There is important work ahead and I look forward to continuing to advocate on behalf of our members to protect our rights and advance our interests.”
Six previous executive committee members were re-elected: Oren Burks, Cam Heyward, Ted Karras, Case Keenum, Brandon McManus and Thomas Morstead.
The four new members of the executive committee are Tanoh Kpassagnon (treasurer), Jonathan Greenard, Harrison Phillips and Zaire Franklin.

Reeves-Maybin would not have been eligible to run again, per NFLPA rules, if he had not played in 2025. The Bears added him to the roster at the end of the season, renewing his eligibility to serve.
Reeves-Maybin’s re-election came despite a tumultuous 2025, which included an inexplicable decision to conceal a partial victory in a collusion case against the league and the resignation of CEO Lloyd Howell. It is not yet known whether he opposed his candidacy for the presidency.
In the coming days, the NFLPA will elect a new executive director. Candidates include interim CEO David White, former NFLPA president and former NFLPA chief strategy officer JC Tretter and American Conference Commissioner Tim Pernetti.
Tretter is generally considered the favorite to win the job. He served as president during Howell’s hiring. Which can fairly be described as a disaster for the union.
