I see this.
Did he really get $60-80 million dollars in a settlement with the NFL?


Colin Kaepernick Got A Contract Offer From A Football Team, But He
Demanded $20M To Play
By Alice Edwards - Updated April 15, 2022

Colin Kaepernick has long upheld that he doesn’t have an NFL job because
of collusion between the owners. In fact, he was reportedly awarded
$60-80 million dollars in a settlement with the NFL because he decided
to sue them after he wasn’t offered a contract. He contends that the
controversy over him kneeling during the national anthem is what made
the owners agree not to give him an offer.

However, recently Kaepernick did get an offer to play professional
football. It just wasn’t for the NFL. It was for a team in the upstart
league, the Alliance of American Football (AAF).

All AFL players received the same contract: a $250,000 non-guaranteed
deal that pays out over the next three years. It’s certainly not what
NFL players are used to making, but if Kaepernick really wanted to play
football and show off his skills, this was his opportunity.

Not surprisingly, Kaepernick decided not to take the deal.

Bill Polian, one of the co-founders of the AAF, broke the news that
someone from the league reached out to Kaepernick. “I don’t know what
transpired, but he’s obviously not playing,” he told reporters.

Kaepernick opted out of the last year of his contract with the San
Francisco 49ers. In the last year he played with the team he started
eleven games and the 49ers only won one of those games.

Do you think Colin Kaepernick should have taken this deal? Tell us in
