Former NFL defensive end Junior Galette has from time to time on social media (and possibly elsewhere) complained that he has been blackballed from pro football. On Tuesday, he took steps to prove his claim


quote:

In a 21-page lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Galette sued the league, the NFL Players Association, Commissioner Roger Goodell, and several teams — the Seahawks, Rams, Raiders, Browns, Chiefs, Panthers, and Commanders.

Galette, who spent eight years in the NFL, represents himself.


quote:

The complaint specifically contends that Galette has been blackballed “just like Colin Kaepernick and put on the blacklist BY THE NFL OWNERS” for speaking out about alleged racial discrimination committed against him by the Commanders. Galette’ allegation of discrimination focuses on the disparity in the contract given to Trent Murphy and the deal offered to Galette in 2018. Galette alleges that, based on the offer he received, he posted on Snapchat: “I swear to god I’m not playing for no slave deals I’ll die before I play for more slave deals.”

Galette alleges that, after making his statement on social media, he was unable to land an acceptable job with another NFL. He contends, for example, that he visited with the Raiders, where coach Jon Gruden allegedly told Galette that he is “one of the best pass rushers I have ever seen but all we have or you is veteran’s minimum 660k.”


Enjoy, at least the Saints arent named in the suit.

Is this before or after his ACL surgery and his torn achilles tendon?

I’m so fricking sick and tired of people throwing out ‘racism’ accusations when they don’t apply. It’s the biggest fricking cop out when they say this shite. And more often than not, it’s because they don’t have the testicular fortitude to take responsibility and accountability for their own actions

Tired of it man, and not just in sports

Probably cause Saints will testify they cut him for beating multiple women and that likely wont play well to a jury.

Remember when his “wife” was snitching on Sean Payton and the Saints on Twitter years ago!

Man, I thought he was a good story at first but then he turned into the worst when he got paid.

Is this because Koo is the only Asian kicker in the league?

So he’s saying that since one white player got paid more than him it’s discriminatation? That’s fricking rich.

Need some whiteys to start suing now.

Remember when Gallette signed one of those blood money contracts and whipped some people on the beach with a leather strap like a bunch of slaves...

Kind of ironic

Murphy signed a 3/22.5mil (with only roughly 8mil being guaranteed); after having a 9 sack season (2016) followed by a torn ACL (2017 - also suspended 4 games) by buffalo.

Galette on the other hand was offered vet minimum after:
1. 2015 - being released for being a crazy a-hole
2. 2015 - torn achilles
3. 2016 - signed a 4mil deal; followed by tearing his other achilles
4. 2017 - had played all season however looked a FAR cry from his 2013-2014 version

yeah man, idk sounds like you got a prove it deal and didnt wanna prove it.

Excellent breakdown. I’m sure him being a consistent a-hole with two bad Achilles’ tendons wasn’t taken into consideration by teams at all.
