board of player representatives. The 35-year-old takes over after four years as union president

from 2020 to 2024, and a nine-year-playing career. Treter succeeds interim director David White,

who started in August 2025. In his president role, he guided player safety during the COVID pandemic,

helped negotiate the latest collective bargaining agreement and created,

team report cards to push for better team facilities.

Players showed strong support in picking Treter from over 300 candidates.

He replaces the union's fourth executive director and plans the focus on building union strength

while standing with player leaders. Treter expressed deep gratitude for the trust and a full

commitment to players. NFL Commissioner Rodger Gadell praised his perspective from the field

and past teamwork on health issues. Treter officially starts April 1st and reports directly to the board.
