Open Extended ReactionsLAS VEGAS -- The Nevada Supreme Court on Monday sided with former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden in his lawsuit alleging the NFL leaked damaging emails to the media before he resigned from the team in 2021. As a former employee, Gruden should not have been bound by a provision in the NFL Constitution mandating arbitration for such complaints, the court ruled. "By its own unambiguous language, the NFL Constitution no longer applies to Gruden," the justices wrote. The Nevada Supreme Court panel earlier decided the league could move the civil case into arbitration that might be overseen by Goodell. Two justices said Gruden knew when he signed a contract with the Raiders that the NFL used arbitration to resolve disputes.
