Reports: Matt Rhule Sues Panthers Over Compensation Dispute

An arbitration lawsuit was filed on Jan. 25 by former Panthers head coach Matt Rhule, claiming that the franchise still owes him close to $5 million in severance pay, according to multiple reports.

CBS Sports was first to report the lawsuit. Rhule, who now serves as Nebraska’s football coach, was fired by Carolina on Oct. 10, only five weeks into his third season with the franchise. 

John Singer, a New York City employment attorney, filed the lawsuit on Rhule’s behalf. CBS Sports reports that the majority of such issues involving coaches and NFL teams head to arbitration, according to their contracts’ terms.
