NFL Paid Under $10 Million to Settle Colin Kaepernick

Grievance

"The confidential agreement was widely celebrated as a victory for the players. But the settlement is far less than the tens of millions of dollars Mr. Kaepernick, especially, would have likely been owed if his grievance had prevailed. It couldn’t be determined how the payment is divided between the players and how much they will net after legal fees."

Crazy the owners took so long to put their number out

Kaepernick is in, $1.5 to $2 mill/year?


He will still be able to buy a lot of Che t-shirts. *

believe he actually also wore a Castro meeting Malcolm X t-shirt to an anti-oppression rally.

Some things you just cannot make up.


Settling for significantly less than if a claim prevailed

is called an efficient outcome.


So I guess he settled for more than if his claim failed?

Surprising how few attorneys advise their clients to follow the Costanza strategy of holding out for less money.

I am shocked - shocked - that Mike Freeman’s reporting of the dollar amount may have been wildly inaccurate

EDIT - Freeman’s tweets

Number NFL team officials are speculating to me is the NFL paid Kaepernick in the $60 to $80 million range.

While I never believed Kaepernick’s settlement was $30 or $40 or 50 mil, I also don’t believe any way in hell it’s less than ten.
