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.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Bryce Young

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.

      I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
