Maybe, but it's just as likely that the NFL saw the public division regarding the whole issue with both Kaepernick and Trump and particularly noted the drop in their TV ratings this season. They likely made a business decision that would help them in the longer term.
I suspect if this case dragged out any longer, even if the NFL wasn't directly found liable/guilty, they would come out of this tainted. I don't think the NFL lawyers had any interest in having private statement from dunderheads like Jones, Elway, Biscotti and others exposed.
If there's anything the NFL is really good at it's protecting the NFL.
