The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached a settlement with Lawrence Tynes in a two-year long lawsuit, reports Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, citing court records. No details were announced, which is par for the course in settlements as they usually feature confidentiality clauses.
Tynes suffered from a MRSA infection in 2013 that eventually ended his career. He claimed this was a workplace illness that should have been compensated as such, while the Bucs classified it as a non-football injury, which meant Tynes lost some pension and post-retirement health insurance rights.
