Former Arizona vice president Terry McDonough filed an arbitration claim to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell accusing Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill of gross misconduct and cheating, among other indiscretions, multiple reports said Tuesday.
The NFL confirmed receipt of the claim and the Cardinals have responded in length to McDonough's accusations, which also include harassment and discrimination.
The Cardinals called the accusations "outlandish."
Among McDonough's claims:
--Bidwill had McDonough and then head coach Steve Wilks use burner phones to communicate with former general manager Steve Keim, who was serving a five-week suspension after pleading guilty to DUI charges.
