At this point I don't think it's in Kaepernick's interest to play in the NFL.

While he's still probably better than a lot of the things NFL teams have been using as starting QBs recently, he hasn't played in 5 years and is also 5 years older.

He's probably currently a good enough QB to be on an NFL roster, but I doubt he would be that successful. I mean, better than Ian Book isn't a high bar to clear at that level. He was certainly blacklisted, but at this point I doubt he really wants to join a roster as a backup, and I don't think any team where he could be a starter would be a place where he could be successful. My guess is that at this point he's better off as an activist.

No one wants the NFL stick on them right now. -- nm - Mop Dec 28, 08:54
I've been saying that for a while. He's got his money and his knees still work. Take the W. -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 28, 08:02 1
- I realize this can be read in a way that I did not intend. Allow me to revise to "got his money and is not an arthritic mess." - Baron Please Come Home Dec 28, 08:13
I’m still mad at the Broncos, for not getting him (post Manning)—they’ve trotted out 5 years worth of loser QBs, Kaep would’ve definitely been 💯 -- nm - flavorize Dec 28, 07:58 3
- And I wanted him after Luck. -- nm - Spawn Dec 28, 08:21 2
  - I wanted him after Brady. I got Cam. 😫 -- nm - Diva Dec 28, 08:24 1
    - I think it is pretty clear that Kaepernick has disappointed us all. -- nm - Spawn Dec 28, 08:34
The report was he wanted a starting job. Now he's likely making money equivalent or more than a starting QB -- nm - budice Dec 28, 07:35 9
- My opinion has always been that he had backup $ contract offers but he was holding out for starter $. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 28, 08:55 1
  - I only remember one team ready to sign him. A tweet from his gf made them back off, then they were deposed. - the wrong element Dec 28, 09:12
- The SPAC he's affiliated with raised quite a bit of cash so that could be a nice source of income. -- (link) - zunk xometimes Dec 28, 07:51 [Backboard]
- The NFL still has crap all over their face for this. -- nm - Diva Dec 28, 07:38 5
  - Especially when guys like Ian Book start. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 28, 09:23 1
    - He's Ian Pamphlet now. -- nm - Reagen Dec 28, 09:32
  - One of many, many layers. -- nm - Spawn Dec 28, 08:15
  - Agreed, but I don't think it's in his interest to any more to get signed to a team. -- nm - Dano Dec 28, 07:43 1
    - yes, I read what you wrote earlier. -- (edited) - Diva Dec 28, 08:14
