I wonder if this will hurt him in his quest to get a contract with a new team.

Probably the main reason why no team has beaten the offer of 7 million from Minnesota so far. A lot of teams just don’t want the drama, or can’t afford the distraction during camp.. and the ones who can really don’t need him.

That article right there just cost him millions $$$

He'll end up in Cleveland

RBs really do need to be paid more. Can’t even pay off anyone nowadays.

The most interesting thing to me here is confirming that bribes to recant are alive and well in the NFL. We see it all the time. Mixon comes to mind, tyreek, proli better examples. But we hear "money fixes all" and I took it with a grain of salt that a direct cash for recant was really possible or happening, and yeppppp. 

 

Would be interesting to go back through previous cases of this and see times where the victims statements sound exactly what I just read requested of this one

im not at all surprised it did/can happen, i guess i always assumed it was an off the books type thing. to involve a lawyer and contract sounds pretty wild/borderline illegal.... not saying it is, just SEEMS like it would be

Do I understand this correctly?  She sued him. He offered a deal to settle the suit.  Isn't that a common way for lawsuits to be settled?

Didn’t Deshaun Watson do that 21 times?

he paid her to recant testimony she gave under oath.

If she lied, she should probably recant it. Where you there when the events took place?  If its Cook's position she lied under oath, then his settlement offer seems entirely legitimate? Or did Cook's lawyer report "my client stipulates everything she said was true, but we would like her to lie now?"

I don't see anything in the story that says her allegations were "made under oath".  That would be odd.  I do see a request in the settlement that she deny her original allegations, in a sworn statement

"Cook's initial offer of $800,000 came with a requirement that Trimble sign a sworn affidavit denying abuse claims, the document said. But Trimble has already testified under oath that Cook physically abused her."
