Ex-NFLPA Officer to Sue Union

The NFL Players Association's annual LM-2 form reveals that former security officer Craig Jones plans to file a lawsuit against the union seeking damages for discrimination. Jones was terminated in 2026 after coming under internal scrutiny for speaking to the media about union matters. esporist.org

According to a footnote in the NFLPA's report, "Suit has not been filed and therefore it is premature to assess liability or exposure." Jones was placed on administrative leave before being fired. He had previously gained public notoriety in July 2025 for critical comments about NFLPA leadership following the resignation of former executive director Lloyd Howell.
