Roger Goodell will be deposed and asked to turn over all cell phone records and emails in relation to the Colin Kaepernick collusion case against the NFL.

Several NFL owners will also be deposed.

Kaepernick's attorney said in October that he had filed a grievance under the collective bargaining agreement alleging collusion against signing him to an NFL contract.

The filing, which demands an arbitration hearing on the matter, says the NFL and its owners "have colluded to deprive Mr. Kaepernick of employment rights in retaliation for Mr. Kaepernick's leadership and advocacy for equality and social justice and his bringing awareness to peculiar institutions still undermining racial equality in the United States."

Kaepernick has not been with an NFL team since severing his contract with the 49ers in March.
