Overview
- The NFL asked New York Supreme Court to dismiss Tony Buzbee’s $100 million complaint filed for Robert Cary McNair.
- In its motion, the league labels the claims “legally baseless and factually incoherent” and says they attempt to relitigate a losing family dispute.
- The NFL asserts its involvement was limited to administrative approval of Houston Texans ownership adjustments under its Constitution and Bylaws and was unrelated to McNair’s removal from family businesses.
- Buzbee said he expects the motion to fail and questioned the timing of the league’s separate, indefinite suspension of Texans minority owner Javier Loya announced Thursday.
- The suit follows Cary McNair’s failed 2023 probate effort concerning his mother, after which he was removed from the family trust and business roles.
