NFL Players Quietly Dropped Push for Media Locker Room Ban
Talks have been dormant after a 2024 effort.
The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) dropped their push from two years ago to have media members interview players outside of teams’ locker rooms, according to sources familiar with the matter. The effort was made by the NFLPA under the leadership of Lloyd Howell, who resigned in scandal last year. Some players exercised their right to be interviewed outside the locker room under the NFL’s media policy in 2024.
However, discussions between the NFLPA, the league, and the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) on the issue have remained inactive as the new NFL season approaches. The NFLPA, the NFL, and the PFWA declined to comment on the matter.
