Colin Kaepernick’s collusion case against the NFL “is about to take a dramatic turn,” according to his attorney.

Lawyer Mark Geragos made the comment on Wednesday night on CNN, according to Pro Football Talk.

Geragos followed up by saying, “Somebody has decided they were going to dime out the NFL for what they were doing.”

Earlier this week, Geragos went on the Straight Aim podcast with host Amy Dash, who stated that he faced a tough task proving collusion on the part of NFL owners.

Geragos replied, “Well, unless you’ve got an owner under penalty of perjury testifying that he changed his mind after he was told what Trump said.”

That was a reference to president Donald Trump saying NFL teams should fire players who refused to stand for the anthem.
