1) He didn't turn down offers in the NFL after the protest 
2) The AAF asked if he was interested and declined , the reports of him being offered 20 million were false. All players are paid the same amount. Manziel was asked too and declined,  no big contract offer
3) His lawsuit vs the NFL was always specifically about the loss of earnings he suffered. Settlement was always the desired outcome as he was never going to win the case outright.

I don't mind not liking Kap as QB or even a person for that matter, but people aren't fond of using actual facts to critique him.

1.) Pretty sure I didn't state after protest, nor before for that matter. This is about his desire to play, which he had none. In any case, he turned down Broncos offer a few months before and opted out of his restructured 49ers contract two months after. Sounds like he turned down an offer to me.
2.) Yeah and Tebow as well. Point being, he turned down another offer to play football. Nobody claimed he was offered $20M. Not that it matters it was actually a fools request by Kaep. He knew he wasn't getting that because incomes are standardized. Didn't want to play.
3.) I agree, he was not going to win. He turned down offers and opted out of contracts. His lack of desire to play, anywhere, lead to loss of earnings.

Seems you tried to morph this into an arguement that wasn't there.
