In the suit, he alleged that the Raiders had been in breach of a contract he had signed with them last year and accused the Rams of interfering in the execution of that contract. He further argued that the NFL was in violation of anti-trust laws by restraining free trade. While the Raiders argued they had a valid contract with Gabriel and expected him to honor it, Gabriel's lawyer said his client was under contract to the Rams and would play for them in 1967. NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle also asserted that Gabriel was contractually obligated to play for the Rams, not the Raiders.

Halfback Jim Dillard, a former Raiders draftee, testified before an Ottawa court that the Raiders had asked him to play “at half potential” for the Calgary Stampeders in the 1965 season, presumably with the goal of getting the team to release him and allow him to join the Raiders. Dillard had been selected by the Raiders in the eighth round of the 1962 draft, but he chose to sign in Canada with Saskatchewan. Raiders general manager said the story was “hogwash”, adding that the team had signed him and advanced Dillard $5,000 of a $12,000 to play for Oakland after his Calgary contract expired. Instead, Dillard signed a new contract with Ottawa Rough Riders after that team received him from Calgary in trade. The Raiders sued for the return of the advance money and received half of it by arrangement with the Rough Riders. They expected to receive the other half this year.
