Lawyer: NFL Owner Changed Mind About Signing Kaepernick After Trump’s Comments

A lawyer for Coiin Kaepernick says that an NFL owner testified under oath during a collusion griveance deposition that he changed his mind about signing former San Francisco 49ers quarterback after President Donald Trump comments about firing players that disrepect the flag.

Kaepernick filed a grievance last October against NFL owners for collusion, claiming they schemed to keep him off the football field because of his protests not his football ability.

Kaepernick's legal team has desposed 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

Attorney Mark Geragos told the “Straight Aim” podcast Tuesday that the unidentified owner's testimony proves collusion.
