Re: NFLPA Rumblings...
Never heard THIS before...
Upshaw confirmed that hints of a movement ultimately to change the union leadership were in play at the March meetings in Maui. An effort by one coalition of players to get Philadelphia Eagles safety Brian Dawkins elected as the new NFL Players Association president fell short when Tennessee Titans center Kevin Mawae was voted as its new active-players leader, according to player sources. Mawae is believed to be a supporter of Upshaw.
.....
Dawkins, a member of the players union's executive committee, had the backing of former NFLPA president Troy Vincent, who was no longer eligible for the position because he was not an active player. Several player sources have said Vincent is regarded as a political force within the ranks of the players and desires to replace Upshaw one day. -

Re: NFLPA Rumblings...
While I agree that it is probably time for Upshaw to hand over the reigns to someone else, he isn't as much a puppet as people think. This article was published in SI in January and its long, but provides a much more in-depth picture of Upshaw.Originally posted by BIGPHILLY
