NFL, NFLPA continue to hide ruling from collusion grievance

The article discusses a significant yet concealed collusion grievance involving the NFL and the NFL Players Association (NFLPA). The grievance examined the NFL's refusal to offer fully guaranteed contracts to veteran quarterbacks such as Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, and Kyler Murray. An arbitrator found evidence of collusion but insufficient proof of damages, resulting in a mixed outcome. Neither the NFL nor the NFLPA has disclosed the 61-page ruling, which remains private despite its public importance. The lack of transparency raises suspicions about the motivations for secrecy, possibly involving sensitive internal communications. The article suggests that the NFL, a public entity benefiting from substantial public resources, should be more transparent by releasing the document, but notes that distractions keep this issue out of public scrutiny.
