Reid filed his collusion grievance last week with the aid of Geragos, the same attorney Kaepernick is using in his own collusion grievance against the league. Monday’s union filings, however, are separate.

The noninjury grievance the union filed Monday is based on the union’s belief that individual club anthem policies violate the collective bargaining agreement, which doesn’t specifically grant teams the right to create their own policies, while the league’s states only that players “should” stand for the anthem. Based on information the union has obtained regarding Reid’s free-agent visits, an NFLPA source said Monday, the NFLPA believes the Bengals told Reid they were planning to implement a policy requiring players to stand for the anthem.

The system arbitrator case that the union filed Monday is a broader claim intended to establish a precedent for all players and against all clubs moving forward. This one doesn’t address the idea of individual team policies on the anthem as much as the idea of what questions are and aren’t appropriate to ask prospective employees in interviews.
