Kaepernick active player in collusion case

Colin Kaepernick is struggling to find work in the NFL, but he isn’tidle. Kaepernick has played an active role in helping build his collusion case against the NFL.

Kaepernick has personally sat in on at least a half-dozen depositions involving league and team officials, according to a person familiar with the situation, with several key depositions scheduled for the next couple of weeks.

Kaepernick’s legal team is expected to meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell this month as part of the quarterback’s collusion grievance. Kaepernick appears to be deposing some of the teams that had been linked to him in some fashion over the past year — front offices that ultimately decided to go another direction.

The latest is the Seattle Seahawks, which cancelled a workout with Kaepernick this week. The team on Friday instead signed Stephen Morris, a quarterback who’s spent time with three teams, but has never taken an NFL snap. Members of the Seattle organization are expected to sit for depositions this month, including coach Pete Carroll and John Schneider, the team’s general manager.

In recent weeks, Kaepernick’s team has deposed members of the Baltimore Ravens, including coach John Harbaugh and general manager Ozzie Newsome, Houston owner Bob McNair and Miami general manager Chris Grier.

Dallas owner Jerry Jones was also deposed Thursday, first reported by Yahoo Sports. With Goodell’s deposition coming , the player’s legal team has deposed Troy Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations, and Arthur McAee, its senior vice president of player engagement.
