The attorneys for quarterback Colin Kaepernick are seeking to conduct a deposition with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell as part of Kaepernick's collusion grievance, according to a person familiar with the case.
The request to depose Goodell comes in addition to the requests for depositions with several owners of NFL teams, including the Dallas Cowboys' Jerry Jones and the Houston Texans' Robert McNair, and for certain teams' electronic communications involving Kaepernick.
The desire to depose Goodell was first reported by ESPN, which also reported that Kaepernick's lawyers are seeking to conduct depositions with a few officials from the league office.
