    Guess the money from that "massive" settlement with the NFL is gone.

    All he had to do was put in the work to get his starting spot back instead of pouting then trying to find an excuse because it was a bad look.

    I think he knew his time was limited. I'm not really a football fan but from what I understand Colin Kaepernick wasn't very good. I mean even not being a sports fan I know names associated with sports like LeBron James as a basketball player Peyton Manning is a football player people are famous because they're good.

    All I know a Colin Kaepernick for crying about things. So it's probably about to get booted for someone better and I think he was just desperate for some Fame and it works to an extent I never heard about him playing football until after he started crying.

    To me it stinks is a desperate effort not to be washed up and if that's what he wanted he probably shouldn't have picked a flash in the pan fad to join. Maybe he would have been better off just living a normal life.

    All he had to do was apologize and sign a contract that he would not disrespect the flag, anthem, etc and he wouldn't do it. His cause was more important to him so he got to keep his cause while football said adios.

    1. He has been out of the game far too long and plays a position where you need to be playing constantly. That he works out every day is not the same as playing against NFL players. That's like saying you go to the batting cages every day and now you're ready to face Nolan Ryan.

    2. There are QBs coming out of college every year and being released by other NFL who recently played the game.

    3. The NY/NJ folks would be merciless on him and the team. It would be brutal.

    4. No team needs a distraction and his presence would be a major one.

    5. No one should tolerate this guys bigotry, racism and intolerance.

    6. This guy is reminding of the British royals where they had it all, blew it and are now nothing more than irrelevant attention seekers.

    You gotta love a guy that had the opportunities he only had because of his adoptive family that he says are "racists".

    Same guy that made a video saying NFL teams were slave owners, while desperately trying to get a spot on the "plantation".

    What a moron. He deserves the bed he's in.

    Dude, you are free man and off of their plantation. Nothing more pathetic than a slave in love with his chains.

    The ship sailed on his career. He ended his career a couple of years early with his woke kneeling, and he burned his bridges for a coaching job at the same time. Teams don’t hire disruptive troublemakers.

    If he really wanted to play he’d have gone to Canada years ago. He’d probably have been back in the league by now if he had.

    I don't know about that. He'd have to be an exceptional player at 36 years of age and find an offensive coordinator who will design an offense around his style of play. There are 32 NFL teams which most means there are at least 64 QBs. This guy is not even trying to be one of them, he wants to be on the practice squad, and even that means beating out one of 16 other players and taking their roster spot. I don't see it happening and if it ever did it would further cement my decision to no longer watch football.

    Instead of watching millionaires who can't do math hit each other as hard as possible only to be flagged if a player gets taunted or does an end zone dance (think about that for a second), I now restore old and damaged photos for people using Photoshop.

    I lost all interest in the game after the third game of kneeling and never looked back. Wokeness kills everything it encounters.

    He was good enough to be a backup, but I don’t think he really wanted to play. Refusing to go to Canada to show he could get it done told me he wasnt serious.

    He thought he was given a platform to spout his stupid opinions, rather than throw a football.

    He made a bad choice.

    Maybe he just wants to be a part of football.

    He could have disrespected the flag all he wanted if he was good. He was sitting because he lost his starting job, and that turned into kneeling. Russell Wilson could have knelt during the anthem for the same reason, but he was an MVP candidate at the time, so he would have kept playing. Kaepernick was a middling QB at best. His talent wasn't worth the controversy that came with him.

    I think years ago he was too busy modeling and being an activist.

    Not even that. All he had to do was accept the amount of money 49ers offered him. He wanted more.

    They hate when people express an opinion contrary to their own. If you do, they will cancel you.

    I saw another person saying he didn't want to play, he just wanted to stay relevant. I imagine the "social justice" checks from Nike aren't getting any bigger, and there's likely an end in sight for them. He doesn't have the talent to make big money playing football.

    What's so unusual about this? Many scouts and coaches are former players.

    He’s not asking for either, practice squad are players. And he hasn’t played in years.

    A few years ago, the NFL granted him a special workout for teams league wide and what does he do? … he shows up wearing a t shirt that said Kunta Kinte on it …
