NFL Moves to Dismiss Cary McNair’s Suit Alleging League–Texans Plot

The filing argues the case improperly tries to pin family governance decisions on the NFL’s routine ownership-approval process.

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.
