Gruden's Lawyers Want to Question Goodell, Owners in NFL Lawsuit
Gruden seeks testimony from NFL commissioner and owners in ongoing Nevada lawsuit alleging orchestrated email leaks that led to his 2021 resignation.
- Wednesday, Jon Gruden's attorneys filed a case conference report asking to depose NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and at least four current and former NFL owners in Clark County District Court.
- After the emails containing racist, misogynistic and anti-gay language were published, Gruden resigned and sued, alleging the NFL and Goodell ran a malicious campaign to leak them.
- His filing names high-profile witnesses including Dan Snyder, Mark Davis, Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, Desiree Perez, Reed Smith law firm attorneys, and DeMaurice Smith, seeking all communications among the NFL, Goodell and the Raiders plus 650,000 documents from the Washington Football Team investigation.
- The NFL and Goodell deny leaking the emails; discovery continues until at least late this year, and Gruden seeks over $150 million in damages.
- The move to depose NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and multiple owners is an unusual legal step, coinciding with Brad Karp's resignation after documents showed exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein, while the NFL filed a Jan. 23 appeal.
