Peter Schrager wants Andrew Whitworth to lead NFLPA
Because somebody has to.
Because somebody has to.
"I have not been reached out to by anyone within the PA, but I've been told by a number of people that my name comes up in those conversations."
"I want to get my story out there, and I don't want it to look like this was sour grapes or I didn't get the job and I wanted the job."
"...these dudes flex while using and abusing all of the connections that the players and the league have worked their asses off their entire lives for… and act like sanctimonious heroes thru it all."
"It’s clear that my leadership has become a distraction to the important work the NFLPA advances every day."
"We categorically reject false reports insinuating doubts within this committee or suggestions that we have asked our Executive Director to step down."
"They could have gone to Capitol Hill, they could have called for hearings, they could have made an enormous public display of, 'Look at what we're dealing with, heading into our next CBA.'"

"If there was a reason or an opportunity to get involved and help, then absolutely I would walk away from my media career to do something like that."
