Eric Reid and Colin Kaepernick. (Marcio Jose Sanchez/Associated Press)An arbitrator declined to dismiss Colin Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the NFL and teams, allowing the case to proceed to a triallike hearing before that same arbitrator. The NFL had requested summary judgment by Burbank, which amounted to a request for him to dismiss the case. Burbank rejected that request in a decision that was posted by Mark Geragos, an attorney for Kaepernick, on social media. Geragos and Kaepernick must prove that the league and teams acted in concert in violation of the CBA.
