Former Cardinals vice president Terry McDonough has accused owner Michael Bidwill of cheating, harassment and discrimination in an arbitration claim he filed with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
McDonough, who spent 10 years with the team beginning in 2013, argues in the claim that Bidwill forced him and former Cardinals coach Steve Wilks to use burner phones to communicate with then general manager Steve Keim while Keim was suspended in ’18 by the team after getting arrested for a DUI.
McDonough claims both he and Wilks “objected to and sought to avoid participation” in the scheme to communicate with the suspended Keim. However, after McDonough objected, Bidwill “cursed at, berated and formally reprimanded” him by writing him up for “insubordination.”
