What will happen to all the NFL owners who are supporting the kneel downs in the league.

Kap still being out of the league is not about talent. It's about signing him being a bad business decision.
Are there owners out there who immediately refused to sign him because he kneeled for the anthem. I don't doubt it. But i guarantee for the mass majority. It was a lot deeper than that. Is Kap better than some starting qbs right now. Sure. But the upgrade is marginal. Not only that, he will be a huge distraction to any team he signs too. Also he will alienate fans who don't agree with his views. No owner wants to deal with that if he doesn't have to.
Now, if this was Russel Wilson or Cam Newton who did what Kap did, guarantee they would still be on a roster.

You're right. He most likely was going to be cut anyway. I forgot about that detail

The 17th all time leader in passer rating (higher than Carr, Stafford, and Luck) who the last time he played put up a 4:1 TD to INT ratio should be employed all things considered. If Kap had never sat he would have a job. Now I think it should be the owners decision but to act like this won't be a battle on the NFLs part is stupid. All it's gonna take is one judge who wants to be in on one of the biggest sports rulings ever and this shite is gonna blow up
He actually has to prove collusion. You realize this, right?
He's going to have to explain why he's being singled out when so many other players are doing what he did.
He's going to have to explain why he decided to opt out of his contract.
He's going to have to explain how his actions off the field weren't reason enough to naturally dissuade owners to stay away from him.
You seem to think that the decision would be based on whether or not his talents make him good enough to have a job.
He has to prove that the NFL owners got together and agreed together that none of them would sign him. If he can do that, he'll have a case.
IMO, this case won't even be heard.

Are we dismissing the part where Colin opted out of his contract. He also started and publicized this movement. He wore socks calling cops pigs. He wore a Fidel Castro t shirt to a press conference. He is a fricking nightmare PR problem. Plenty of good players can't find work because of baggage they carry off the field. He does not have a case unless all the owners got together and agreed no one would sign him. That's not what is happening.
Not to mention his racist girlfriend (IWHI) already sabotaged his potential signing with the Ravens.

Only a fool couldn't see that he is being blackballed to a certain degree. Joe Flacco has 4 TD to 8 INT and averaging like 5 yards a pass. Do you honestly believe that Kaep couldn't do better?
Just as I expected when I read your first post. You don't know what collusion or being "blackballed" is. You think weighing the issues he brings off the field into the equation equals collusion.
It's always funny to see someone totally ignorant calling others a fool.

The fact that he declined a $12 Million option destroys any claim he has.

Why does a team have to sign him? Why is it illegal for a team to not to want to sign him, for whatever reason it is?
This is on ESPN's page right now in reference to the Pelicans:
Should Cousins sue the NBA for having owners claim they have a "no Boogie" rule?

yes, he's far more talented than most back ups
will he be able to prove collusion in a court of law?
I'm very doubtful on that

His negatives outweigh whatever talent he brings to the table.
