The National Labor Relations Board has dismissed Russell Okung's unfair labor claims against the NFL Players Association, attorney Peter Ginsberg confirmed to ESPN.
Ginsberg didn't have comment on the next steps, but Okung, the Carolina Panthers left tackle, can appeal in the coming weeks.
The dismissal from NLRB regional director William B. Cowen states the evidence "did not contravene the employer-employee relationship, nor did it run afoul of the policies of the [National Labor Relations] Act," according to a letter obtained by NFL Network, which first reported the news.
Okung accused the players union of negotiating the Collective Bargaining Agreement -- which players ratified on March 15 by a 1,019-to-959 vote -- in bad faith.
