This guy was deliberately screwed over to kill his career. Deserves lost wages and estimated future earnings based on prior four years of earnings.
The NFL is a monopoly (or even worse the feared oligopoly). As such they act as they want with virtual impunity.
The woke NFL decided to destroy Gruden just like they decided to destroy Tim Tebow. Many fans denied the NFL was woke at the time and made the laughable claim that all NFL decisions were merit based.
You don't hear that argument much anymore except by a very few naive fans. Bless their hearts.
