lol better settle
I agree with the poster, I bet NFL lawyers told the owners to settle. And guys like Jerruh were like "I'm not giving that kneeling sumofabytch a penny".
Kaep definitely can win this lawsuit. But you guys are forgetting the biggest aspect if Kaep wins this lawsuit. IT VOIDS THE CBA

Colin Kaepernick Wins Key Battle in NFL Collusion Case — TMZ
COLIN KAEPERNICK
WINS KEY BATTLE IN NFL COLLUSION CASE
TEAM OWNERS MUST NOW TESTIFY

It's a hugely significant ruling ... an arbitrator just threw out the NFL's motion to dismiss Colin Kaepernick's collusion lawsuit, and that now paves the way for a full-blown trial in which NFL owners will have to testify under oath.
The NFL had filed legal docs alleging Kaepernick's legal argument -- that NFL owners conspired to keep him out of the league -- was baseless and without evidence. The arbitrator disagreed, concluding there was sufficient evidence present in the former QB's legal docs to allow his case to go forward.
Part of the evidence the arbitrator considered -- several NFL owners have been deposed in the case including Dallas Cowboys honcho Jerry Jones, Texans owner Bob McNair and Ravens Steve Bisciotti.
Now Kaepernick's lawyers, Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas, will have an opportunity for a trial and put the owners under oath. The end game -- proving they talked, conspired, colluded to keep Colin off the field. If that gets proved, the entire NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement could be in jeopardy.
Mind you ... Colin could not have won this motion with mere statistics ... he had to show solid proof the owners engaged in a coordinated effort to blackball him from the league. Therefore, the former QB must have presented some hard evidence that moved the arbitrator to rule the case had enough merit to go to trial.

cacs angry in the replies.
These cacs are totally mistating the law.
At the summary judgment phase, the judge gets to look at the evidence. This isn't like a motion to dismiss which is purely procedural and all the claimant has to do is state a claim for which relief can be granted. At the summary judgement stage, there has already been discovery. There is evidence. The fact the judge has allowed this to move to trial means there is enough evidence for Kaep to potentially win the case on its merits.
This is a HUGE development. The whole time people have been arguing how hard it is to prove a case of collusion. Well if a judge thinks there is enough evidence to let this go to trial then that means Colin and his lawyers have sufficient evidence to prove collusion.
The NFL is in trouble. They better settle unless they want a messy trial.
Colin should go to law school after this. Make them really eat it.

Honestly the problem for the NFL is Trump exploiting the office of the presidency and making the owners case harder with his statements.
The government (Trump) can’t do the shyt they’re doing against Colin’s speech.
