As a Chiefs fan I whole heartedly welcome the move.

How do you know it's an L? Will they get to play? We don't know.

That's a big time L for the NFL. That's not "pay to make it go away because it's bad PR" money. That's "we colluded, got caught doing it, and are paying up with an NDA so we don't have to literally admit it" money.

Seems weak on Kaep’s part to agree to an NDA since this whole thing is about principle.

I think that's fair, but there are a lot of important organizations that will benefit from the money. Would've been interesting to see the texts, emails, etc. that would've come out in discovery though.

Why on earth would Kaepernick not want that stuff to be made public?
