Hey may or may not have an actual case. He signed the contract, and should have known what the terms were before he did. All the other things he talks about to try and justify why he shouldn't have been suspended ignore the fact that we don't know what he was actually like in the locker room. If he and Grigson had strong disagreements about his role on the team, he could have been acting like a pariah in the locker room, constantly mouthing discontent over his position. Kind of like that guy everyone works with who always talks crap about people who get promotions over him, or who complains about the boss and then doesn't understand why his performance reviews are bad when he's constantly mouthing everyone and underperforming.
That's just kind of what I see in this situation. The players-only meeting a couple months before the end of the season was one where Reggie claimed they were calling out some people on whether or not their hearts were in it. And shortly after, Richardson lost his starting position for good.
