Right now, the media has made him into a social justice martyr and Nike has invested into that. If Kaepernick comes back and plays poorly, that narrative turns into the teams knew what they were doing by not signing him. He no longer will have that street cred. People have forgotten than his teams are 11-24 in his last 35 games as a starter and than Blaine Gabbert replaced him as the starter in 2015 and then beat him out in TC in 2016 under a different coaching staff. To me, this settlement means his NFL career is over. headhunter, IsntLifeFunny, StephenIsLegend, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact no one signed him does not mean 32 owners colluded not to sign him. Also, settling a lawsuit is more often a numbers game dealing with financial exposure as opposed to actually doing something. It's called paying someone to go away because the alternative could be more expensive and time consuming. You think all those people who get payouts from Walmart were actually wronged?

LOL Who said all 32 colluded, anyone who disagreed with his stance from the beginning is going to see the settlement in a way that aligns with their personal view it seems.

I think you are way off. If anything it clears the owners from having to consider signing him in fear of being accused of collusion. They paid him to be done with the situation. titanruss, abenjami, IsntLifeFunny, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all 32 didn’t collude then why didn’t all of the non-colluders line up to sign him? LOL titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
