Players’ Union, Dies at 76 By RICHARD SANDOMIR FEB. 22, 2017 Ed Garvey, who led the National Football League players’ union to two strikes during a dozen years as its executive director and later became a progressive political activist and officeseeker in his native Wisconsin, died on Wednesday in Verona, Wis. He was 76. The union confirmed his death. Mr. Garvey joined the N.F.L. Players Association in 1971 seeking to bring economic and social freedom to players who had experienced little of either in the era before free agency. Atop his wish list was eliminating a rule, named for the league’s commissioner, Pete Rozelle, that restricted the ability of a player, once his contract was over, to sign with another franchise by requiring his new team to compensate his old team with players or draft choices. If teams could not agree on compensation, Mr. Rozelle determined it. “In 1974, we struck over that: ‘no freedom, no football,’” Mr. Garvey said in 2010 during an interview on “I Remember,” a public television program in Milwaukee. The summertime strike ended in early August, and the players instead 9 Get up to 40% off The Time ucription of our choice.
