Has Colin Kaepernick's legal team finally uncovered the smoking gun in his collusion case against the NFL?

Lawyer Mark Geragos, who is also representing Eric Reid, slammed the league for bowing to pressure from President Donald Trump regarding the new national anthem policy Wednesday on CNN, and hinted that his clients' case could be blown wide-open soon.

"I would stay tuned because this case is about to take a dramatic turn," he said, according to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. When pressed for details, Geragos added, "Somebody has decided they were going to dime out the NFL for what they were doing."

Commissioner Roger Goodell, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and the Seattle Seahawks' Pete Carroll and John Schneider are among the prominent names who have been deposed in Kaepernick's case.

Prior to the announcement of the anthem policy, the Seahawks organized a visit with Kaepernick in April, but postponed the meeting after the quarterback declined to stop protesting police brutality and racial inequality during the national anthem.

The policy prohibits any player or team personnel from demonstrating during "The Star-Spangled Banner"; however, it's unclear if the Seahawks will renew their interest in the veteran passer.
