The NFL is attempting to use Brian Flores’ contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a way to force Flores’ lawsuit out of the court system and into arbitration. That’s according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, who wrote about the situation Wednesday morning. Florio also includes an interesting nugget current Steelers GM Omar Khan sent at the time Flores was hired in February 2022.
From Florio and PFT.
“The NFL and multiple teams have argued that his contract with the Steelers forces his pre-existing legal claims into arbitration.
That wasn’t supposed to happen, based on the understanding between Flores and the Steelers.
