It's been two years since former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick chose to protest police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem of a preseason game.
Since then, Kaepernick has become a polarizing figure and has gone from NFL quarterback to an outspoken advocate for social justice.
Kaepernick filed a collusion grievance against the NFL under the collective bargaining agreement in 2017.
In a stunning development on Friday, Kaepernick's lawyers Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas announced in a joint statement with the NFL that the grievance was settled, adding to a long timeline of events dating back to 2016.
