Brock Osweiler is headed back to the Denver Broncos, and people are not happy he got picked up before Colin Kaepernick.

Who are the people "not happy" that Osweiler got picked up before Kaepernick?

ESPN?

There's two chuckleheads here in the Chicago radio market on WGN that do a weekend sports show that do nothing but prattle on and on about how they cannot believe Kaepernick hasn't been signed "yet."

Kaepernick's politics are far less a problem for him than are, oh, say his STATS which show he isn't worthy of playing in the NFL. That's really all there is to it.

If Kaepernick had better stats and shown himself capable of running an NFL caliber offense, he'd have been signed by now. The proof? Look at the increasing number of idiots "taking a knee" each week that are playing in the NFL.

Kaepernick would not make the Broncos’s team. He would destroy it.
Guy is a clubhouse cancer.
ESPN should sign him to their broadcasting team. Wonder why they haven’t. I will not watch ESPN until they sign Colin.

If Kaepernick had better stats and shown himself capable of running an NFL caliber offense, he would have never taken a knee during our anthem.

He is a loser as a pro QB and in life.

He will probably try to be male version of Mad Maxine Waters and will run for congress as a commie BLMer in a special congressional district.

Right.

As always, ‘the people’ that any media, including the sports media, mean are everybody in their own news room and leftist buddies at the bar.

There's something else. The NFL is becoming a three-ring circus with all the distractions. Those silly pink ribbons? PC nonsense that does nothing to enhance the game. The kneeling? It's a "look at me" stunt that takes away from developing focus on team and fan unity and the game at hand. The flurry of rule changes? There's no attempt to keep them to a minimum. Actions such as the four-game Brady suspension last year? It was a stunt, a feeble attempt to equalize the best team in the NFL.

It's about coaches and owners not controlling their teams. When Kaepernik first pulled his stunt last year, he should've been at the very least suspended for several games.

"...people are not happy he got picked up before Colin Kaepernick. "

My thought same as yours...
