To Brian Flores, Steve Wilks and Ray Horton: Stay strong. Please stay strong. On Thursday, as part of documents submitted in the Flores class-action lawsuit against the league alleging racial discrimination, the NFL and the individual teams named in the lawsuit expressed their intention to file a motion to compel arbitration or alternatively, a motion to have the case dismissed entirely on the grounds that it is “without merit.” It’s to be expected that the league and teams would go this route… Source link

For roughly 16 months, Colin Kaepernick’s legal team at Geragos & Geragos went toe to toe with the NFL in a grievance process that remains completely shrouded to this day. Discovery was performed. High-ranking depositions were recorded. Arbitration hearings were convened. Finally, it ended in a settlement agreement in February of 2019.

Because the more Flores speaks, the more he appears to point to Belichick as being a… Source link

If you’ve spent any time speaking to Black coaches or front-office personnel in the NFL, if you’ve spent any time paying attention to the league around hiring season, Brian Flores’ racial discrimination lawsuit isn’t a surprise. That does not make the lawsuit he filed any less stunning. Flores’ decision to potentially lose his career as a coach, the thing he said in a statement had been gifted to him from God, at just 40 years old cannot be understated. There are moral stands, and then there… Source link

In a theme that’s stretched on for essentially one year, Deshaun Watson has some sizable quandaries on his hands. But as far as what he can control — the waiving of his no-trade clause — the firing of head coach Brian Flores in Miami is expected to reset the trade landscape for the quarterback. Through the entire process of Watson’s trade demands, he has pointed his compass toward the Dolphins. And the sources in his camp have said consistently that the driving force behind Watson’s… Source link
