The Retired NFL Players Congress, Inc. (RPC) announces that all apparel-related business conducted in partnership with JH Design as “licensee” and the National Football League (NFL) as “licensor” has officially concluded.

The RPC has not received any revenue from the NFL or any affiliated partners since July 2024. RPC closed its physical operations and moved out of the 940 W. Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015 address on December 19, 2024.

The contract involving the RPC and the NFL expired on March 31, 2025 and was not renewed. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the NFL, our sponsors, supporters, business community partners, charitable organizations, and retired players and their families for their encouragement and support over the past 13 years.

RPC founder Bob Grant envisioned an organization that would, in his words, “get us out of the begging and lawsuit business” and instead, built a collaborative, player-led, self-reliant, independent, for-profit company dedicated to helping retired players and their families.

“Uncle Bob” passed, May 19, 2024. His vision became a reality in large part through the support of our many partners and members. We are proud to have created this incredibly unique business model and of the assistance the RPC has been able to provide to the retired player community and to NFL-related charities over the years.

This notice officially marks the end of all apparel-related business between the RPC and the NFL.

The RPC, officially owned and led by Bob Grant, is not affiliated with, nor in business with any other organization that currently has or may develop a similar relationship with the NFL, its suppliers, vendors, or affiliates.

We thank all of you, our members, partners, and friends, for your ongoing trust and support. The RPC remains committed to the values of independence, charity, value creation, and community that have guided us since our founding.

Sincerely,

Retired NFL Players Congress,

Jason Grant, Executive Director

Katherine Grant, Corporate Secretary
