You really struggle with this. You've been characterized by some in here as one with some personal business successes, but it must have been small business. It could not be more clear that the larger scale presented by the business of the NFL is beyond your grasp. But whatever. Let's focus on the thread instead of your personal shortcomings.
First of all, you have no idea what the settlement is. None at all. Secondly, Kaep is only getting what his lawyers say he is getting - whether it is annuitized or in a lump sum - after they take their expenses and their cut. (Like the salesman, the attorney is the first pig at the trough.
) Third, they are not just paying for Kaep to go away. With this settlement, the NFL is not only silencing Reid, too, but is keeping the entire National Anthem kneeling issue at bay.
This is exactly what the settlement bought. If you can't understand that these things are worth stiff eight figure sums, that's OK. Your failures do not make me incorrect.
