"I am stunned and saddened by the news of Gene Upshaw’s death. I enjoyed working with Gene over the years and found him to be a complete professional, a great credit to the game and a man of outstanding character. He will be missed. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family."

RIP
Gene was an iconic figure. Part of the reason for the success we’ve had in the NFL is that the NFL’s player union is reasonable and well represented. Gene is a big part of the reason for labor peace, and I am grateful for all he’s done, both as the leader of the union and previously.
