The first snippets of testimony have emerged from the depositions taken in the Colin Kaepernick collusion grievance.
Kaepernick's legal team has deposed more than a dozen people, including owners of the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, New England Patriots and Denver Broncos general manager John Elway gave depositions in the case.
One of those coaches reportedly admitted under oath that he changed his mind about signing the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback after President Donald Trump comments about firing players that disrespect the flag.
Attorney Mark Geragos told the “Straight Aim” podcast Tuesday that the unidentified owner's testimony proves collusion. "In this civil case, there’s no doubt that the existing coaches — and I’m talking about Super Bowl-winning coaches — have testified under oath that he’s a starting quarterback in this league, and so that’s mind boggling,” Geragos said.
“When you ask them … specifically why he isn’t he being hired … they say because of the national anthem policy.
Also in deposition, Jerry Jones admitted that Trump pressured him to pressure the NFL to change the national anthem policy. Trump told him to tell the league that "you can't win this one" because "it lifts me (Trump)", referring to his ability to rally his base over the issue.
