So I'm guessing way higher than that.
If it had gone to trial and the NFL lost, the low end settlement would be :
- normal contract of $126M
- punitive $126M (fine = loss)
- Treble damages 3x(126+126) = $756Million
That would be the lowest I would expect if I was the NFL defense attorney.
So I would have no problem offering $200M to settle out of court but
would probably have to add $100M to that because Kaepernick's attorney would want
1/3 of settlement for his fee.
So I figure he got $300M but $100M goes to legal fees.
AT LEAST!
I say at least because no juror who paid attention would think that $126M is punitive to
the NFL.
Rather then being punitive to the NFL, that would be a joke.
You really have to get over $1Billion to be reasonably punitive to the NFL.
In 2017 the NFL
distributed more than $8 billion in national revenue that was split among the league's 32 teams.
Bottom line : As long as Kaepernick would accept under $1Billion is was a done deal.
