The Facts: The NFL and lawyers for Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid released a joint statement on Friday announcing the resolution of the players' grievances against the league. The settlement includes a strict confidentiality agreement.

Diehards Line:Given the confines of the agreement, specific terms, including finances, of the settlement aren't known. Kaepernick, who last played for an NFL team in 2016, filed his grievance through the NFLPA against the league on Oct. 16, 2017. The former San Francisco 49ers signal-caller alleged collusion that denied him a job with a team after he took a knee during the national anthem in 2016 to raise awareness of racial inequality and social injustices. The 31-year-old quarterback continues to be overlooked by teams in need of a starter or backup despite Kaepernick's experience. During his six-year career, he was 4-2 as a starter in the postseason and took the 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII. The NFLPA later issued a statement, expressing optimism that Kaepernick will eventually get another chance to return to the league.
