If his issue was the waiver and not trusting the NFL at all, why didn’t he just hold his own workout from the get go? He obviously had no trouble setting it up at the last minute, so with more planning on his part, he could have got everything he wanted from the start.  

And is it the norm for the NFL to host workouts for unsigned free agents like this?

The NFL wants to be able to say that they went above and beyond trying to find him a job, but he's just not capable of playing at an NFL level. They also really, really wanted that waiver signed. It's not in any way, shape or form normal for the NFL to host a "pro day lite" for a street free agent, although it's not unheard of for a guy to host one himself. I think TO might have done that towards the end of his career, and Kap ended up doing that himself after (probably) hearing from his representation that it would probably be a good idea to do so at risk of hurting his "they're impeding me" argument.

Kap wants to hold the NFL to the fire and try to make a second claim of collusion. The first settlement only covered actions up to that point. If his intent is to argue that new violations have taken place since then, he can file another suit. If you're looking for a criminal analogy, it's like breaking into your neighbor's house on December 1st, being convicted on December 15th, then breaking into their house again on December 31st. The first B&E has already been accounted for, but that doesn't absolve you from responsibility for the second.

I think his endgame here is to get a judgment stating that collusion took place, and I think the NFLPA is driving the bus to that. Collusion invalidates the CBA instantly. Can he do it? I don't think so, because I think the NFL would pay Kap directly again if it came down to it, probably more than the NFLPA could.

So basically, Kap is about to be a Jaguar.
