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.
