NFL players union chief DeMaurice Smith said outside union headquarters Washington on Thursday that his group's claim of collusion will stand up in court. "My view is that the facts that we had justified and supported the complaint that we filed," Smith told reporters. The NFL Players Association claimed in U.S. District Court in Minnesota on Wednesday that the 32 teams had a secret salary cap in place during the uncapped 2010 season, and that it cost players at least $1 billion in wages. On Wednesday, hours after the court action, the NFL issued a statement saying "the union's claims have absolutely no merit and we fully expect them to be dismissed." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello also said: "There was no collusion. There was no agreement. These claims are totally unfounded." Source: Associated Press
