He hasn't played in 7 years at this point. There is no way in hell he could be of value to a team anymore.


After seeing how Deshaun Watson fell off after sitting out one season, it seems rather silly to think any QB could not play for 7 years and contribute

A) Jets decline his offer, they're racist for not giving him a chance when he's just asking to be on the practice squad

B) Jets accept his offer and when Zach Wilson has a bad game they're racist for not giving him a shot in the game

This was very calculated

If the Jets were interested in a washed up QB with no arm whose primary weapon was always his legs, they could go get Cam Newton instead. He’s a year younger than Kaepernick and would only be a quarter of the headache

"What they don't want you to understand is what's being established is a power dynamic. Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you. Searching for any defect that might affect your performance. No boundary respected. No dignity left intact," Kaepernick said over images that juxtaposed NFL draftees with slaves on an auction block.

The median salary for an NFL player is $860,000. Kaepernick was paid a total of $43.79 million for his five seasons in the league, plus another $10 million in a 2019 settlement.


Imagine suing your employer then spending the next 7 years emailing your resume to all your managers

If that letter didn't come from that douchebag, I'd say it's not a bad play.

Actually, for the sake of being fair, it's not a bad play, even from him. I still wouldn't let that cancer anywhere near my team though.

1. I would respect the move if he didn’t release it publicly.

2. I find it hilarious that he says “unlike the veteran QBs you’re considering, I’ve been working out from 5-8am everyday”

Will this man ever give it a rest. As I've stated many times before. If he was really serious about playing football again, he would have joined either the Canadian league, AAF, USFL, or XFL.

I could maybe respect this move here. If it wasnt for the fact that he sent it to his rapper friend to post publicly. Besides Kap not being that talented, this is why nobody wants to deal with him. Entirely too much of a media headache.

If John Harbaugh is a reference then why doesn’t he ask to join the Ravens practice squad?

Including Mark Davis, who could have signed him anytime in the past 7 years.

Never became THIS guy:


How long would his career have lasted? Where do you think he’d be?

You think it’s going to pay off? How much do you think he’s going to get from his claims and his race BS grift?
