OT: What do you think Kapernick and Co. settled for?
- Thread starter Mr. Potter
- Start date
urth, multiple people connected to the league have, without disclosing the number, downplayed the settlement as an amount that will cover the league’s anticipated legal expenses for the duration of the arbitration, with perhaps a bit more. (The anticipated legal expenses weren’t disclosed; chances are those amounts would have been in the seven figures, not in the eight figures.)
Fifth, another source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that speculation that the settlement amount landed in the range of $60 million to $80 million is incorrect.
Bonus ... if no team offers him now, he can sue all over again.
I think some one signs him by the end of the month, probably Pats, to an incentive heavy deal.

In these situations those who talk don't know and those who know don't talk.
Just to be clear, I really don't know and really don't care what he got (now if he decides to share with me- then I'll start to care)- I'm just amused by folks like you who seem to care so desperately one way or the other.
I know you don’t know. And please, don’t act like you know
As you said those that know don’t talk, and you talk a lot
SI says Reid and Kaepernick settled for less than $10m.
Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Panthers safety Eric Reid will receive less than $10 million in a financial settlement with the NFL, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The specific amount remains unknown. The ballpark has now been identified.
Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal reports that the collusion grievances filed by Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid settled for less than $10 million.
It’s not a surprise. Last month, we outlined the factors supporting a conclusion that the amount was far less than the numbers that initially were thrown around. We invite you to refresh your memory.
There’s another important factor bolstering the notion that the settlement was less than expected: Kaepernick remains unemployed, even after the Dolphins were fumbling around for a quarterback, Kaepernick reportedly was interested, and they signed Ryan Fitzpatrick instead. The ongoing shunning of Kaepernick, notwithstanding the latest failed prediction from attorney Mark Geragos that Kaepernick would be signed within two weeks of the settlement, suggests that the league has no concerns about another collusion claim, or an argument that Kaepernick is the victim of retaliation for the filing of his prior collusion grievance.
