Former NFL media reporter Jim Trotter has settled his retaliation lawsuit with the NFL.
The lawsuit, which was filed in 2023, alleged retaliation against the NFL after the league opted to not renew Trotter's contract as a journalist covering the league. At the heart of Trotter's lawsuit was that the NFL was frustrated by questions Trotter posed to commissioner Roger Goodell regarding lack of diversity, equity and inclusion in the newsroom. Trotter believed that the NFL was suppressing Black journalists from covering a predominantly Black player pool in the league.
