They have their smoking gun.

He said i predict we will have our smoking gun. hopefully, they do though because if the statement he made is what they are going into arbitration with they are going to lose because patterns of owners telling team executives not to hire someone or less talented individuals being hired over him does not prove collusion based on the nfl cba.
It has already been proven.. Most people don't know shyt about the law.

I work for a constitutional law think tank and have spoken to a number of labor lawyers about this since his collusion claim was filed. So i know a little about the law but please inform me how it has already been proven

I don't think Garragos would take a case knowing he wouldn't win would he.He knows how the NFL shield is in court.
Lawyers take cases all the time but that don't mean they will win.
Like somebody said Barry Bonds sued MLB for collusion and lost
Yep sure did. Thanks for reminding me brotha.
Like I have said before on here the NFL don't give a shyt. No league maybe in all of sports in the world has the political ties that the NFL has (basically because it is in the most powerful country in the world).
It took 6 years of court cases just for the NFL to agree to pay past players money for CTE and other injuries.
Took NFL players like Reggie White and others to sue to league just for free agency and even then the league just paid the players in damages and lawyer fees.
shyt the league can say hey we guilty and pay kap a couple of million in damages. Give him a token try out and still fukk him over on a roster spot in the preseason.
The League just does not care.......that is one of the reasons they suck at PR.
I said before that they could have slowly phased Kap out and no one would have said shyt. They could have signed kap put him in a backup role and phased him out in 2 years like the NBA did abdul rauf. Hell in the offseason kap said he was even gonna stand this year if he got a gig.
The NFL is just so powerful they don't care about PR and that is why every few years they have some sort of scandal and tell folks to kiss they ass and keep trucking.

Not only that, their is more to taking a case besides winning and losing, lawyers take case that they will probably not win due to the high profile of the case. Marketability is a huge part of being a defense lawyer if you are not working in the public sector and this pending arbitration is going to be in the public consciousness for some time. So if he loses he is still remembered as the lawyer that fought the monstrous NFL who violated the rights of Kaep but fell short due to the odds and if he wins he will be seen as the Lawyer who defeated the NFL. He does not lose here either way, his profile dramatically increases from this.

This is arbitration, not court their is a difference. Arbitration is dictated by the NFL CBA and also Kaep is going to have to show that 14 or more teams conspired against him to end the cba but only two or more to win his claim.
