Free agent K Josh Lambo has filed a lawsuit against the Jaguars seeking his $3.5M salary for '21, "plus damages for emotional distress." The suit claims that Lambo’s "performance suffered as a result of being kicked and verbally abused" by then-coach Urban Meyer, alleging a "hostile work environment." Another claim: Since Lambo reported the incident to the Jaguars’ legal counsel, his "subsequent release violated Florida’s Private Sector Whistle Blower’s Act." The lawsuit says that Lambo "verbally reported the incident immediately through his agent, Richard Irvin, who contacted the Jaguars’ legal counsel the day after Meyer kicked him." An employer "physically striking an employee at work, then threatening to do so again in response to resistance is illegal under Florida civil and criminal law" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 5/10).
