Flores Addresses His Relationship with Tua

[EDGECRUSHER]

Steelers senior defensive assistant Brian Flores alleged the Dolphins asked him to sign a non-disparagement agreement when he was fired, to which the Dolphins responded by saying they did no such thing.

In an interview with Bryant Gumbel of Real Sports, Flores claimed the Dolphins asked him to sign an NDA when the Dolphins fired him in January. The Dolphins organization released a statement on Tuesday evening saying Flores' claim is "categorically false." There is an ongoing investigation by the league into Flores' lawsuit against the NFL and several teams.

If Miami did this, there would be some type of trail. After all, Flores wouldn't do this to be nice, he would do this because Miami was offering money. If so, they didn't do it WHEN they fired him, it would have to go through lawyers and there would be phone or email records of that.

Unless Ross is beyond stupid and asked him to sign that for free the minute he fired him.

^ What's the issue here?

Maybe I'm not understanding, but isn't an NDA agreement at the point of termination a pretty standard practice in business?

Dave is right, an NDA is standard after a firing.

It's SOP in these situations. Flores is just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks. Just another disgruntled ex-employee. He alleged that he was cast as the "angry Black man" who was "noncompliant and difficult to work with". Those labels fully apply to this dickhead, except he isn't black. How ironic

It is standard in some types of business and is not criminal at all, but is it standard in sports? I just figured coaches keep their mouths shut so that they don't burn bridges and scare off future employers. That's why I don't think Flores will ever be a Head Coach again, even though I was shocked he got any job at all.

I'm just curious if Miami asked him to sign one, the price of it and if it is standard in the NFL. Never heard of it before in sports.

Never heard of it before in sports.

I hadn't either, but I just assumed it was because it wasn't publicized, which is kind of the point of an NDA anyway, which is discretion against dirty laundry and trade secrets.

I don't know how it applies to the NFL, because it's a monopoly, but also because your competition (other teams) also share in your profits and success (the NFL as a whole).  It would kinda be like signing an NDA at a company and then getting hired at a different sector of the same company but not being able to discuss your previous employment.

I ultimately don't know at all, but I don't find anything scandalous at the thought of it, at first glance.

I don't have a link because I saw it in the very first article I saw about this. Not only is it common but the article said it is contractually tied to the remaining salary usually.

So, Flores let go millions in salary just to sue the NFL and act like an idiot in public? Either he has amazing lawyers who will get him $100 Million since no team will ever pay him big money to be an HC again, or he has the absolute worst lawyers who just cost him a career and tens of millions.
