Former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, along with fellow National Anthem protester safety Eric Reid, settled last month with the NFL for an undisclosed amount over their claims of ideologically driven “collusion” among franchise owners against them. Many fans of the controversial QB declared him the victor in the showdown with the league, but how much money did he actually manage to get out of the league in exchange for agreeing to drop the complaint?
According to The Wall Street Journal, the answer is far less than many expected. Though the exact amount is still unknown, the Journal reports that sources “briefed on the deal” say that Kaepernick and Reid will receive less than $10 million total as a result of the settlement. How much of that sum each of the players will take home is unclear. Part of that payout will likely go to legal fees, and the two players will presumably split the remaining amount, though the percentages of the split are unknown.
