“[Y]our union conveyed to the league that due process for players is not a luxury, it’s a right,” Smith told the executive committee and player representatives.  “While the league currently has great concern for its brand, fairness and justice for our members is more important.  For us, the starting point for these discussions must be the desire to agree upon a fair personal conduct policy and domestic violence rules from a standpoint of prevention and education.  We will not accept a world where all players are viewed as perpetrators first and husbands, fathers, sons and brothers second.”

It’s an important point, because the NFL’s current seat-of-the-pants approach to accusations against players has resulted in two of them (Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy) being presumed guilty, not innocent.  Ultimately, a fair and consistent process is needed to determine when players will be allowed to play in the face of accusation, and when they won’t be.

No agreements were made or decisions reached on Tuesday.  The two sides have agreed to meet again, soon.

Im at the gym on mobile and just saw on espn that the nfl and nflpa are meeting today about the personal conduct policy. Anyone know how this affects greg hardy moving forward or anymore info for that matter?

Actually we all just got done with the conference call with the League, you should request to be added to the distro so as to not miss any future meetings/conference calls.

NFLPA said they are standing up for due process of their players and that is more important than the league saving face on media/public pressure. Could effect hardy but nothing solid came from the talks today. They will most likely meet again in November.

 

Thank you, I have updated OP.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
