Junior Galette’s war with the National Football League has only gotten nastier with his lawsuit against the league.
Last year, the former Saints and Redskins linebacker claimed he was being blackballed from the NFL because he was “unfairly profiled by police.”
“I want to believe you @nflcommish, but when I was unfairly profiled by police and later spoke up about players feeling enslaved to the league’s unequal standards, I was blackballed and run out. I challenge you NFL,” Galette said back in 2020.
In an open letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Galette says players are punished harshly if they have any involvement with police officers. The linebacker says the league should adopt the “innocent until proven guilty” legal principle.
This week, he posted on Twitter that the league somehow got his Instagram taken down because he was exposing them in real time with his lawsuit.
“The @NFL Got my @instagram Taken down for Exposing everything that’s been going on in my LAWSUIT”

Galette signed with the Redskins in 2015, but tore his left Achilles tendon and missed the entire season. In 2016, Galette tore his right Achilles tendon and missed that season. He signed a 1-year deal in 2017 and played in 16 games for the Redskins, finishing with three sacks. He has not played since.
