The NFL is such utter garbage I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets hired somewhere as a back up and ends up winning the swishy super bowl. For the narrative. The half time show can be black chicks in dog costumes dragging their butts along an US flag to the latest hip hop dog squeeze. It will be hailed as the greatest super bowl ever.

It turns out his settlement with the NFL was for far less than what the initial speculation was. Some jackass who was an agent for NFL players was quoted as suggesting he got somewhere in the tens of millions of dollars, but he had no evidence to support that.

Kaepernick has several obstacles to deal with if he wants to play in the NFL:

1. He hasn’t played since 2016.

2. He’s 32 years old.

3. He’s not a good QB.

4. He’s been employed for the last three years as a professional malcontent.

5. Nobody believes he even wants to play in the NFL anymore.

The man is now geriatric in NFL terms. Every year a dozen new rising super QB’s hit the league.

3a. He can’t read defenses which is a big reason
he was benched in the first place.

His last season out of 11 starts, he only won 1. This story sounds strange. Have they ever done this for a previous player? I believe the answer is no.

I believe somewhere between 48-60 million.

I have a close relative working for the NFL who says it was much, much less than that. Of course, my view is that anything was too much. I haven't paid a bit of attention to football since this Krap started, so I don't care either way.

I hope you’re correct. That a-hole deserves nothing.

I believe it was about one-tenth of that amount which is still a ridiculous amount of money.

They don’t say which leagues these clubs are in.

By God, you're right! It could be the XFL, the Ottawa Redblacks or some arena football outfit in Sioux Falls. Lying, smarmy bastards!

At this point I’m actually hoping that some team does sign and play him. He’ll get his arse stomped and prove once and for all that he can’t play. Frankly at this point that’s the only way that he or any of this is ever going to go away.

He’s a terrible quarterback, do they just want him to kneel on the sidelines as a back up? Bad decision for any team

Oh, it’s opposite day.

“Will he be wearing his cop pig socks for the workout?”

I actually hope that he is that stupid.
