New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead isn’t just another voice in the chorus within the NFL Players Association, who are in the progress of voting whether to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement with NFL ownership. Morstead serves on the labor union’s NFLPA executive committee, along with a former Saints teammates in Benjamin Watson.
Morstead has made himself available to other members of the NFLPA who want more details on just what they’re voting on, but on Thursday took an extra step to voice his own take on the CBA. The voting deadline is set to expire at 11:59 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 14, so Morstead obviously feels a responsibility to reach out to his fellow members and make it clear where stands on the issue.
“Our union is in a position to secure economic certainty in a very uncertain climate. The sports world is not immune to global events as we all can see,” Morstead wrote from his official Twitter account. His full message to NFLPA membership and the public can be seen where we’ve embedded it below:
