MINNEAPOLIS -- Calling his settlement with the Minnesota Vikings an opportunity "to do a lot of good for a lot of people," Chris Kluwe announced his fight with the team is over.

The Vikings and Kluwe's attorney Clayton Halunen announced Tuesday morning that they had reached a settlement to resolve the former punter's allegations of homophobic behavior by the team. It put the issue to rest 7½ months after Kluwe first published his allegations and avoids the prospect of a lengthy legal battle.

The Vikings had initially announced a $100,000 contribution to charities that support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender causes, and they will make additional contributions to five LGBT-friendly charities over the next five years. The team will also enhance sensitivity training that is already required throughout the organization.

The parties did not announce the financial terms of the settlement, but Kluwe said he will not receive any money.

"Everyone knows the numbers we've been talking about. It's a substantial commitment to LGBT causes," said Halunen, who had initially asked for a $1 million charitable donation.

The Vikings announced a three-game suspension for special-teams coordinator Mike Priefer on July 19, the same day they released a 29-page summary of a six-month independent investigation they commissioned after Kluwe alleged he was subjected to multiple homophobic remarks by Priefer and released by the team in May 2013 because of his support for same-sex marriage.

Kluwe had sought to obtain the full report from the investigation after the Vikings released their summary and had threatened to sue to obtain it, but after he and Halunen had a chance to review the report, they decided to stop pushing for its release.

"That's a tough one, because I've said the entire time, 'I want the whole thing to be out there,'" Kluwe said. "It really comes down to the question of, 'Is it about me? Is it about what I want? Or is it about what we can do to push things forward and make things better for everyone else?'
