We are not privy to the details of the settlement, but support the decision by the players and their counsel. We continuously supported Colin and Eric from the start of their protests, participated with their lawyers throughout their legal proceedings and were prepared to participate in the upcoming trial in pursuit of both truth and justice for what we believe the NFL and its clubs did to them. We are glad that Eric has earned a job and a new contract, and we continue to hope that Colin gets his opportunity as well.” NFL Statement: Quote “For the past several months, counsel for Mr. Kaepernick and Mr. Reid have engaged in an ongoing dialogue with representatives of the NFL. As a result of those discussions, the parties have decided to resolve the pending grievances. The resolution of this matter is subject to a confidentiality agreement so there will be no further comment by any party.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomCampBody Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I'm guessing the settlement is 9 figures . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would assume Reid's is much smaller, his new deal limits the amount of damages he could realistically claim. You have to assume someone is going to leak the dollar amount somewhere.

Just now, RandomCampBody said: Loss of potential earnings Yeah I could see 8 figures perhaps. Particularly with Kaep. But Eric Reid just signed a deal, played last season. Do I agree with this on principal? No. These guys shouldn't be getting anything, but 9 figures seemed utterly ridiculous to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it is 100M either, but probably over 40M considering what he potentially lost the last few years and maybe forever. NFL must have felt threatened at the evidence Kaepernick's camp had if this went to trial. I love confidentiality agreements...........Yet it will be leaked like in a day or two of how much the settlement was really for lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Mike Freeman says the rumors are that it is for 60-80 million. NFL takes one in the teeth. I was hoping he would rip them up in court, but this is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it is obvious collusion was going on and settling at least gives the NFL some out as it doesn't totally expose them. So Mike Freeman is saying some are speculating the amount is around 60-80M. I actually could believe that. Now, the question is, will he get picked up by a team or it was understood that he is done for good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wrote the CBA. Collusion is in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
