Colin Kaepernick, who reached an out-of-court settlement with the NFL in February over his lawsuit calling that NFL teams colluded to keep him out of the league after he initiated taking a knee during the US national anthem to protest racial injustice, has released some information to counter false stories. The settlement is believed to be for $60 to $80 million and includes a confidentiality agreement. Finally, he gets some justice.

The 31-year-old Kaepernick was the first player in NFL history to take a knee during the United States national anthem in the San Francisco 49ers final pre-season game on Sep. 1, 2016, protesting racial injustice. Kaepernick has been a free agent since opting out of his contract with the 49ers in March 2017. That led to speculation that Kaepernick had been blackballed by the league. Kaepernick has thrown for 12,271 yards, 72 touchdowns versus 30 interceptions while rushing for 2,300 yards (6.1 yards per carry) and 13 touchdowns since San Francisco selected him in the 2011 NFL draft.

The NFL and Kaepernick came to a resolution over his allegation of collusion to keep him out of the league. Mark Geragos, the lawyer representing Kaepernick, released a joint statement about the two sides resolving pending grievances subject to a confidentiality agreement.





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

According to Kaepernick’s representatives, not a single NFL team has offered him a job since he’s been a free agent and began his peaceful protest. There hasn’t even been a team bring Kaepernick in for a workout. His agent have never seen anything like the current situation in 25 years.
