Quote

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.

[Mr. Scot]

Florio speculated that Reid's new Panthers contract could have an effect on both cases.

Also saw where the AAF reached out to Kaepernick. Standard AAF contract for every player is 3 years, 250,000. Kaepernick reportedly wanted 20 million.

So Kaep and Reid were just after money afterall, and it isn’t really about social justice...?

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!

Money is a great tool to fight injustice. Not that you would have any experience with social injustices or large sums of money....

[countryboi]

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?

Didn't Malcom Jenkins (aka..the Sell Out), also get the league to donate money?

[AggieLean]

Called this.

I’m expecting the payout to be pretty substantial for both Kaep and Reid. This will allow the both of them to pour even more money into their organizations and charities.

Plus, Reid will more than likely continue to kneel!

Win for the good guys.

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.
