Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has settled his collusion lawsuit against the NFL, lawyers for the athlete and the league said Friday.
Kaepernick and former teammate Eric Reid, who both took knees during the national anthem before games in 2016 in a protest against systematic racism, had filed suit against the league for allegedly colluding against them to keep them from playing.
"For the past several months, counsel for Mr. Kaepernick and Mr. Reid have engaged in an ongoing dialogue with representatives of the NFL," according to a statement by their lawyers, Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas.
"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," said the statement, which was also released by the NFL.

Who?
IOW, he didn't get squat..................
Kaepernick is the most famous washed-up not playing in the NFL in league history.
All about the $
We’ll learn something. At some point. Too much political at risk, mostly on the part of the BLM movement. I bet they got something.
Even if he did, I bet it was a very small settlement....................
If they received a nickle it was too much. I am so disgusted with the NFL organization. I understand many others who feel as I feel are going back to Sundays with the NFL. I am not, although once was an enthusiast. This past season I didn’t see any regular season game, although tempted. I did watch the Super Bowl. Since I am old as dirt, I like to see ol’ men win.
You know who - the question is how much?
There’s a lot of Russkis in the MFL?
How much does he have to pay them?
He sucked as a starter and now he sucks at being a rich rabble rousing ex 3rd string player.
The 49rs should have counter-sued for lost revenue.
The league should have also.
Instead the 49rs and the league took a knee.
how much of the fan ticket money will they give him
Read on other site that the settlement was $60-80M (!!).
What a racket..basically legalized extortion. Claim (imaginary) victim status and sue the bajeebus out of the people you falsely claimed are victimizing you.
If true, idiotic for the NFL to give this washed up nobody that much $.
I don’t recall there being a right to play football?
In fact the NFL has colluded against me from playing for decades.
I hope the settlement includes a job for Colin K. He should be asking “would you like fries with that” at one of the NFL’s overpriced lunch counters.
Exactly right, it is extortion. For a sport/organization that is supposed to be so manly, it sure lacks men.
Piss on Colin Cancer.
