Malcolm Jenkins reacts to settlement in Colin Kaepernick collusion case

Despite a dominant effort from his team in the first half of the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma, Alabama coach Nick Saban had reason to be angry as the second quarter wound down. The Tide, leading 28-10, was on the verge of scoring its fifth touchdown, but the potential scoring drive was derailed by three red-zone penalties — holding, an illegal formation and then a false start on a fourth-and-1 play. After the false start, which forced Bama to settle for a field goal, Saban exploded and slammed his headset on the ground in disgust.

The league’s lack of compromise on the new anthem policy announced Wednesday could lead to quiet contempt among its players. Owners need to be careful here.
