NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith reportedly told agents that they should "collude" in free agency to help their clients, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.
Smith spoke to the agents Thursday in a videoconference and said they should work together to ensure teams weren't taking advantage of players amid changes to the salary cap for 2021.
As Graziano noted, it is illegal for teams to collude against the players, but there are no laws or rules against the players taking part in a similar practice. The agents would be able to get accurate numbers about which teams are offering what amounts in free agency.
