Colin Kaepernick says he is ready to make his NFL return, posts workout video on social media

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick says he's ready to return to the NFL in a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday.

The video starts with a countdown saying, "Denied work for 889 days."

The quarterback turned political activist has not been offered a contract with an NFL team since being released by the 49ers after the 2016 season when he made headlines for kneeling during the national anthem at games. The 49ers went 1-10 in Kaepernick's 11 starts that season, and he threw for 2,241 yards and 16 touchdowns with four interceptions.

Despite not being in the league for the past two seasons, Kaepernick says he has stayed in NFL shape, and the video continues with the 31-year-old showing his workout routine.

I’m down to listening to my Falcons on the radio. If they let this joker back in even THAT is going away.

He was responsible for 3 of 4 turnovers in his last title game in 2013. His stats the next 3 seasons were dreadful...bottom 5 of all QBs. Def Coords figured him out years ago. If you cut off his running lanes, his tiny brain makes big mistakes. There isn’t a single team that could win with him as starter, and there isn’t a single team that could afford his ridiculous $$$ demands as a 2nd or 3rd stringer.

It is a lie that he was not offered any contract. He turned down a contract because he thought it was beneath him and he was making more as a SJW. Now he is yesterday’s news and wants back in.

Hasn’t he gotten the message yet that nobody wants him?

If you count the cost in losses to the NFL he caused, he is the most expensive player in NFL history times 10.

No one has a right to be an nfl player.

Especially if they get themselves fired.

He needs to keep his name, and his phony conspiracy alive, so he can monetize all his bullshit with some more stupid “woke” companies like Nike.

Colin hasn’t learned a single correct thing from all this.

That is perhaps the most disgusting thing I have read on this site. NOBODY, no matter how reprehensible their politics, deserves that horrific disease.
