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.

    • In the prediction thread I made a post saying we should look for the up.  Without using any footbal knowledge just basing off of results and the pattern… we had and have flipped from home winning streak to road winning streak. Where we could not win. We were on a two game road streak going into today. We have been up down up down like a yo yo. Every week. up down up down.    And it would be played in Atlanta where Bryce, for whatever reason, turns in his best performances lately. I don’t remember 2023 but last year he was excellent.  If that pattern held, and it did, it was a lock.  Ended up being a great game for us and for Bryce but however it got there, that pattern said it was going to get there.  Can I explain it? Not more than that. 
    • One thing I like: We hired a young coach without HC experience. We knew there would be growing pains. I like that we see him willing to get rid of things that don’t work and learn from his mistakes.
    • I don't think it's a matter of being "on the precipice of taking games over" as much as "Canales and Bryce might finally be realizing they need to force feed him targets" It's really felt all year long like they have been trying to prove they can spread the ball around with a balanced attack, in particularly in key situations where they just use him as a decoy route and don't even look his way before the pass is thrown. Yes, he's had a few drops that hurt his stats a little, but in reality, what's been holding him back isn't himself, or even Bryce's play.  But the play calling and decision making by Bryce once the ball is snapped, and just not looking his way as often as a team with such a gap between WR 1 and 2 like we are right now.
