Cary McNair Sues NFL, Alleging League Helped Oust Him From Texans Family Roles

The New York lawsuit claims the league acted to stifle his oversight questions about Texans scandals.

Overview

  • Robert 'Cary' McNair Jr. filed a tortious-interference complaint in New York State Supreme Court seeking at least $60 million in damages.
  • The suit alleges the NFL worked with Cal McNair to restructure McNair family governance, installing Cal as Owner's Representative and removing Cary from the trust board and his CEO role at McNair Interests.
  • McNair says he was targeted after pressing about the Texans’ handling of Deshaun Watson allegations and rapid settlements, as well as issues tied to minority owner Javier Loya.
  • Attorney Tony Buzbee says evidence will show NFL intervention, noting a Sept. 8 letter to Commissioner Roger Goodell outlining concerns about the Texans’ settlements and what the organization knew.
  • The NFL, the Houston Texans and McNair Interests have not responded to requests for comment, and some reports suggest the league may try to move the case to arbitration.
