A former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader has filed a federal lawsuit against the team Chuck Howley Jersey , alleging she wasn't paid for all her work and made less money than the team's male mascot.
Erica Wilkins, who worked for the Cowboys from 2014 to 2017, is seeking "unpaid overtime wages, minimum wages Kyle Fuller Jersey , and all other available damages", citing the Fair Labor Standards Act, according to court documents filed Tuesday. The lawsuit said female cheerleaders were paid at a rate less than "Rowdy," the mascot.
The lawsuit claims that Wilkins' usual pay rate $8 per hour Theo Riddick Jersey , but that payment was sometimes incomplete, and that the team's male mascot made $25 per hour and about $65,000 per year.
Earlier this month, five former cheerleaders sued the Houston Texans Samson Ebukam Jersey , alleging the team failed to fully compensate them as required by law and subjected them to a hostile work environment in which they were harassed, intimidated and forced to live in fear.
The Broncos are set to get their final 2018 draft pick contract out of the way on Thursday.
Mike Klis of KUSA reports that the team will sign third-round running back Royce Freeman to his four-year rookie deal. Freeman is the last of 10 Denver picks to agree to terms on a deal and there are now 14 unsigned draft picks around the league.
Freeman ran for at least 945 yards in each of his four seasons at Oregon and picked up 5,621 yards and 60 touchdowns overall during his time with the Ducks.
The Broncos released C.J. Anderson this offseason, which leaves Devontae Booker Vernon Butler Jersey , DeAngelo Henderson, seventh-round pick David Williams and undrafted free agent Phillip Lindsay as Freeman’s competition in camp. Broncos coach Vance Joseph said last month that Freeman “absolutely” has a chance to wind up on the top of that group. Keita Bates-Diop Jersey ,
