It's becoming harder and harder to keep up with the various twists and turns in the disintegration of Lloyd Howell's two-year run as the NFL Players Association's executive director.

Howell resigned from his post late Thursday amid rising criticisms at the NFLPA and concerns about Howell's potential conflicts of interest.

The answer is obvious: Domonique Foxworth. For starters, Foxworth has done the job before. From 2012 to 2014, he served as NFLPA President, helping the union navigate the turbulent aftermath of the 2011 lockout and CBA negotiations.

Via Mark Maske of the Washington Post, the NFLPA board of player representatives will meet on Friday night to discuss the union's next steps following Thursday night's sudden and surprising resignation of executive director Lloyd Howell.

While the grievance decision had not been reported publicly before Thursday, the league says it informed teams at its March league meeting.
