Colin Kaepernick is reportedly planning to opt out of his contract after the 2016 season and become a free agent.

This is going to be interesting. He is already radioactive, and gets booed everywhere he plays.

I wonder which team is dumb enough to hire him?

The Chiefs have a penchant for picking up over the hill Quarterbacks from San Francisco, PLEASE NO!

True. But would they want him? Well heck, they’ve sent some wacky people down here where they became liberal actors.

Romo will find a team faster than Kap will. Kap will never play again after this year. Now he can devote all his time to BLM

Lets encourage it. If he opts out of his contract, he stops the money flow. When no other team will touch him, he won’t be able to make the mortgage on his new multimillion dollar NYC apartment.

I assume this means he’ll be in demand in the open market, correct? Even more stupid than suspected......
