I think his deal with a Baltimore was about done iirc then Kaesong broke it off because he wanted starter money or something.

Actually, it was because his girlfriend posted a tweet that implied some bad things about Bisciotti and Ray Lewis.

Ray Lewis: Ravens refused to sign Colin Kaepernick because of girlfriend's tweet

quote:

Ray Lewis: "When me and Steve Bisciotti were talking, this is what we were talking about, Judy. We were talking about giving this kid an opportunity to get back in the National Football League. Look, this is what I wanted to share with people. I have been fighting for this kid behind the table like nobody has ... I've never been against Colin Kaepernick. But I am against the way he's done it.

"Then, his girl [Colin Kaepernick's girlfriend] goes out and put out this racist gesture and doesn't know we are in the back office about to try to get this guy signed. Steve Bisciotti has said it himself, 'How can you crucify Ray Lewis when Ray Lewis is the one calling for Colin Kaepernick?' ...

"When they (Ravens) called me, it was to say, 'Yes or no?' ... We were going to close the deal to sign him ... Steve Bisciotti said, 'I want to hear Colin Kaeperkick speak to let me know that he wants to play football.' ... And it never happens because that picture comes up the next day. "

Here is the tweet:


I still can't fathom a reason why she posted that picture. It's just a shot at the owner and one of the franchise's faces at a time when the Ravens were discussing whether to sign Kaepernick (who would have been the starter since Flacco was injured).
