reports today that mr. kaepernick filed a grievance, claiming collusion through our arbitration system. and is represented by his own counsel. we learned that the nfl was informed of his intention to file this grievance before today. we are scheduling a call with his advisers for early this week. >> that's interesting. obviously, the big meetings here in new york this week, jeffrey toobin, between the nfl, owners, players invited also. >> right. and, you know, i can see why these players are really nervous. because even if he can't prove collusion, colin kaepernick has suffered because of his exercise of his rights to free speech. and if you are a player in a league with only two or three-year careers, as it often the case, are you going to take this kind of risk? >> and, look, the proof is in the silence. to your point, to dante's -- we haven't heard a lot from number 7. and this probably is a reason for that.
