Jon Gruden vs. NFL lawsuit: Nevada Supreme Court rejects league's petition in latest legal win for ex-coachCBS Sports ^ | October 2, 2025 | Zachary PerelesPosted on by lasereyeThe Nevada Supreme Court unanimously (7-0) rejected the NFL's request to rehear its decision to allow Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the league to proceed in public. In August, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled in favor of Gruden, 5-2, that the NFL Constitution and Bylaws' arbitration clause "does not apply to Gruden as a former employee and is unconscionable." The Nevada Supreme Court judges did not rule on whether Gruden's claims are true or not. The NFL can appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, but the Supreme Court hears very few cases per year. Brent Musburger called the leak of Jon Gruden's emails a "professional hit job" orchestrated by a "paid assassin".
