Titans' Wesley Woodyard reacts to NFLPA Executive Committee selection

March 12, 2020 by Titans Wire Leave a Comment

Tennessee Titans veteran linebacker Wesley Woodyard was one of 11 players selected to the NFLPA Executive Committee on Tuesday.

Woodyard, who is the Titans’ player rep, was elected by the Board of Player Representatives, which votes for Executive Committee members every two years.

Here’s what the Executive Committee does, per the NFLPA’s official website:

The Executive Committee manages and transacts the business and affairs of the NFLPA between meetings of the Board of Player Representatives. Executive officers are elected for a two-year term in even-numbered years at the annual meeting of the Board of Player Representatives. They must have been members in good standing for one-year to be eligible to serve.

After his selection, Woodyard took to Twitter to express his excitement for his new role.

I’m honored to serve our men and can’t wait to work with my brothers on the EC! #Oneteam

Woodyard is a 12-year veteran of the NFL and has played six seasons apiece with both the Denver Broncos and Titans. He’s set to become a free agent this offseason.

It’s an important time for the players, as the they are in the process of voting on the proposed CBA that has already been approved by the owners.

The original deadline for voting was supposed to be March 12, but the date has since been pushed back to March 14. As a result, the NFL also pushed back the deadlines to franchise tag players from March 12 to March 16, which also happens to be the start date of the legal tampering period.

There’s no real indication as to which way the vote will go, however a failure to pass this current proposed CBA would benefit the Titans and give them the option of using both the franchise and transition tags on their impending free agents.
