The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including J.C. Tretter helping educate players about a potential CBA.

The NFL and the NFL Players Association have been working on a new CBA agreement over the past several weeks in order to prevent a lockout in 2021. Although the owners have agreed to a CBA agreement already, Cleveland Browns center J.C. Tretter is trying to educate the players.

Although the NFL owners have approved the proposed CBA agreement, the players will be the true test of if the CBA gets approved. Several players have already voiced their displeasure with the proposed agreement.

Tretter may not be voicing his displeasure about the proposed CBA, but he is making sure that all of the players have as many details as possible about the agreement. Since most players will be playing the rest of their careers under the proposed CBA, it is understandable why the players are taking the upcoming vote seriously.

Chris Smith was put into an incredibly difficult situation last season after still trying to play football following the passing of his girlfriend right in front of him.
