Outgoing NFLPA President Vincent To Be Named Assistant Exec Dir

Vincent Expects To Be Named NFLPA Assistant Exec Dir Later This Week

NEW LEADER: In a Q&A with NFLPA.com, newly elected NFLPA President Kevin Mawae said of his new role, "I look forward to this next round of [CBA] negotiations, whenever that might take place. It's always interesting to see how it works out, but from the vantage point that we're at right now, it's going to be a lot different view than what it has been in the past." Mawae said the "most pressing" issue for NFL players currently is the "CBA and what is coming out of the owners' camps, with their dislike for what the agreement is right now." Mawae: "That is of most importance, because the players need to know what they are facing and also how to react." Mawae also said of current NFLers, "The most important thing to remember is how they got to where they are today. The past, the former players, the strikes, the history of the union -- each year that we go along in the process, we lose another generation of guys who know the past" (NFLPA.com, 3/19).
