WAILEA, Hawaii (AP) -- Bills cornerback Troy Vincent was elected president of the NFL Players Association on Tuesday.
Vincent, who left the Eagles as a free agent this year and signed with Buffalo, replaces Trace Armstrong, the union president for the last eight years. Armstrong, who is considering retirement, did not run for re-election.
``I am honored to carry on the leadership that Trace has established during his tenure,'' said Vincent, a 13-year veteran. ``I appreciate the confidence the players have shown by electing me as their new president and will continue to work towards improving the benefits for current and former players.''
