BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns center JC Tretter has been re-elected for a second term as president of the NFL Players Association.

Just days after Tretter's first term began, the league and union agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement that avoided a work stoppage and added a 17th game to the regular-season schedule.

Despite some serious leg injuries and rarely practicing, Tretter has played in 80 games over the past five seasons for Cleveland and anchored one of the league's best offensive lines.
