NFLPA Exposed Jones' Discrimination Lawsuit Plan

The NFL Players Association's annual LM-2 form discloses that former security officer Craig Jones intends to file a lawsuit against the union seeking damages for his termination in 2026. According to the report, Jones "through counsel has communicated an intention to file suit against the NFLPA seeking damages for discrimination."

Jones was placed on administrative leave before being fired after he spoke to the media about union matters. His termination comes after he publicly criticized former NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell's resignation and JC Tretter in a 2025 email to all NFLPA staff. The union notes that the suit has not been filed yet, making it "premature to assess liability or exposure." wlop.pl
