The NFL Players Associatio­n said Friday that it did not know the terms of the new settlement.

“Today we were informed by the NFL of the settlement of the Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid collusion cases. We are not privy to the details in the settlement but support the decision by the players and their counsel,” the statement said.

“We continuous­ly supported Colin and Eric from the start of their protests, participat­ed with their lawyers throughout their legal proceeding­s and were prepared to participat­e in the upcoming trial in pursuit of both truth and justice for what we believe the NFL and its clubs did to them,” it said.

“We are glad that Eric has earned a job and a new contract, and we continue to hope that Colin gets his opportunit­y as well,” it said.
