Overview
- Flores’s lawyers say they have obtained a Korn Ferry document from discovery that they view as potentially pivotal and have prepared a motion to amend his 2022 complaint to include new allegations.
- The item was generated in connection with a Raiders head-coach search and was first reported by Daniel Kaplan, with sources calling the material unusually strong.
- The document remains subject to a protective order and the Miami Dolphins and other defendants have formally objected to unsealing or to Flores’s proposed supplemental filing.
- Because the case is in federal court rather than private arbitration, Flores could compel third-party discovery from Korn Ferry, a search firm that has worked widely for NFL teams.
- If the document is unsealed or proven at trial, it could deepen scrutiny of NFL hiring practices and the Rooney Rule and could influence settlement talks or public pressure on teams and the league.
