I really don't believe in coincidences, there are too many smart people in the world to believe a lot of things in life just happened because things happen. When people have the power to predict an outcome in their favor, they will put processes in place to complete that goal. We got a couple of examples of that this week.
First, the NFL giving Colin Kaepernick a 3:00 Saturday workout for all the teams. My guess is there is something in the settlement that made this possible and seeing the quality of NFL QB's playing in the league, Kap not being a roster was going to trigger bad things for the NFL in the settlement.
