[Stomp]

No they didn't the only thing that is known is both parties agreed to end the lawsuit

NFL, Kaepernick, Reid decide to resolve pending grievances

Hmm, scroll back, that’s what I was told

Win the case and you look right... drop 60,000,000 in his pocket and you look guilty IMO

how do we know it's 60 mil? Just because someone said so?

No one truly knows how much they settled for. It was just "reports" of him getting anywhere between $60-80 million. I don't think we will ever know the real amount

Agree....though anyone who supports Kaep will treat the reports as gospel without taking the time to think for even a second.

Why would anyone with the NFL leak this amount as it would make it seem to many they lost? And why would Kaep have it leaked as he would risk getting his cash?

To me it just means that one side just wanted it over and caved... I don't know which side that is either... NFL or Kaep but this settlement leads me to believe this

Or could be both. would think in most settlements each side comes away with what they wanted.

"Hoo-hoo
This is a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose
They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie Sue took the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run"

Possibly... But that is a drop in the bucket money wise for the NFL so in reality they probably came out on top... Due to it being so "low" for them money wise..

I don't really disagree (though I meant to say "didn't come away"). Even if it is $60 mil, that's 2 mil per owner. A drop in the bucket is a good way to describe that amount to mostly billionaires.

Haha. I actually read it as "didn't" anyway, just now realized it wasn't that.. I guess you're like me... In my head I say what I want to say but type something else by mistake.

Heck... (not that he would) but Goodell could have reached into his jeans pocket and paid for the settlement himself

Also - the money probably doesn't really matter to Kaep since he's getting it from Nike anyway..

So what do u believe?

 

[SteelersPride]

What about u @1phlapdown

 

[redseat]

So what do u believe?

?? Settlement wise (who caved?) or "he was black-balled" or not?

Yes all of that

Same as the people who are against Kap who use the AAF "offer".

If he did get paid 60-80 million, he is probably the highest paid QB of all-time.

 

[redseat]

Yes all of that

Honestly don't know who caved to be honest... I am thinking the league thought of a number that they could easily afford and offered and it was accepted... Does that mean Kaep/Reid caved, I don't know... But if that was the money that was given I think the league would be pretty happy with it.. I mean it's only pocket change for them and they don't have to come out and say, "we black-balled" them.

As far as the black-balling issue - If he was a better starting QB then he would have had a much better case.. With that said... There were plenty of other QBs picked over him so it's a possibility. Personally I don't believe Kaep truly cared about actually playing football again however... To me he wants to be more of an activist compared to a starting QB.

What about u @1phlapdown

I wonder how many millions he got?
I've been screwed over by employers before, and it didn't sit well with me, so I filed paperwork. And they ended up sending me a check.
