The NFL and lawyers for players Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid jointly announced Friday that they have settled a collusion case filed by those players against the football league.

No details yet to what exactly the settlement is.

The case had nothing to do with any social justice or civil rights issues.

The case was based on a claim made by both parties that they were blackballed as a result of their stance on social and/or civil rights issues. Just because the case was settled doesn't mean both guys cannot continue to raise awareness or continue to further their cause.

they were after jobs which they were blackballed from over their social justice demonstrations. the Panthers gave Reid a job so he no longer has reason to pursue legal action.

not sure why this is so complicated to some people. yes i do. i'm just not allowed to say it.

Lol...

both have been offered contracts even after their drama queen events I honestly don’t understand what exactly they were suing about anyways...teams didn’t offer them the money or starter position they wanted, can’t sue over that.

my guess is the settlement is nothing because it wasn’t a legitimate case to begin with.

Kap got paid. NFL prints money, and does not settle with him unless they were seriously concerned about their ability to win. 

I’m sure Kap will donate a lot to charities and continue to help off the field - meanwhile MAGA nation snowflakes will cry and pout and not contribute to society. 

Kap wins again!

The entire collusion case was about money, Kap and Reid literally said we can not work because the league is black balling us. of course they settled..people always want to paint people something they are not, if Kap didnt die poor in the streets for social injustice he is a complete sell out. Money can help a lot of people

So you don't think they could settle by having the NFL pay out the settlement amount to Kap's Know Your Rights Camp or any other social justice organization or charity?

And there won't be. If the details get leaked the settlement could be voided. A settlement usually just means one side (or both) wanted to get rid of the issue. Could be for money reasons, could be because one side is boned, could be anything.

If most settlements are the norm I would guess either:

  • The NFL realized they were boned and would lose in court so they said here take 75% (or 150% for that matter) of what you were seeking and never bother us again,
  • Kap/Reid realized they would lose and said give us 20% of what we were seeking and we will shut up and leave you alone and not drag this out for 7 years.
  • Something else which covers every scenario so I am right.

    • Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
    • Nah its Rod Brindamour 0-11 in the Eastern Conference Finals under him.....   Three trips in seven years Zero WINS in the third round. 
    • I think I legitimately may be a cursed sports fan. I am sorry yall
