"That's the way he wants it? Well, he gets it."

Despite flashing elite arm strength and fluidity in the pocket during his public workout last week, Colin Kaepernick has reportedly received "zero" interest from NFL teams.
“Zero. Absolutely zero. The workout last week did absolutely nothing to enhance the chances that Colin Kaepernick is going to wind up with another team," ESPN's Adam Schefter said Sunday on SportsCenter. "There hasn’t been a team that has requested a workout. There hasn’t been a team that has requested a visit. There hasn’t been a team that has expressed interest in signing him. So, despite the fact that one week ago we saw Colin Kaepernick work out at the high school down in the Atlanta area, it has not translated into any results, and though the league wanted to try to help out, at least said it was trying to help out, nothing’s come of it. Colin Kaepernick’s wait continues and it looks like it’s going to be continuing for a very, very, very long time.”
Kaepernick worked out in front of eight NFL teams last weekend in Atlanta, backing out of a league-scheduled event in favor of one of his own. The workout was streamed and made available to media after Kaepernick and the NFL could not come to terms on details of a tryout that was scheduled for the Atlanta Falcons' facility.
"I've been ready for three years," Kaepernick said after the workout, per Vaughn McClure of ESPN. "I've been denied for three years. We all know why I came out here. [I] showed it today in front of everybody. We have nothing to hide. So we're waiting for the 32 owners, 32 teams, [Commissioner] Roger Goodell, all of them stop running. Stop running from the truth. Stop running from the people.
"We're out here. We're ready to play. We're ready to go anywhere. My agent, Jeff Nalley, is ready to talk [to] any team. I'll interview with any team at any time. I've been ready."
Kaepernick last played for the San Francisco 49ers during the 2016 season. He became a national lightning rod for kneeling during the national anthem as an act of protest against racial discrimination and police brutality. Earlier this year, Kaepernick, Panthers safety Eric Reid and the NFL came to a settlement on a lawsuit filed by the players claiming the league colluded against them because of their protests.
The initial Kaepernick workout came at the behest of the NFL, rather than individual teams, so it was hard to determine the likelihood of it garnering interest. There was likely additional fallout when Kaepernick pulled out of the NFL workout for one of his own, given only eight teams made the trip; there were at least 25 scheduled for the NFL tryout.
Kaepernick threw for 2,241 yards and 16 touchdowns for the 49ers in 2016 and has thrown for 72 touchdowns against 30 interceptions as an NFL quarterback. He has a 28-30 record as a starter.
Ha Ha M N word ha ha loser
Yes, he sucked before he really, really sucked.....................
But more importantly, keep his “collusion” BS going
The only “Collusion’ in his career came from Putin and the Russians
"That's the way he wants it? Well, he gets it."
And then solidify their “friendship” afterwards
You nailed it. That was the precise reason how he responded to the “courtesy” try out offered by the NFL.
That's what happens when the rest of league figures you out and you don't respond with something new.
At least, that's what they say about MLB pitchers who have a great first year and then go into decline.

Yep.
He IS a slave... a slave to his insanity.
I’m sure he would be embraced as a commentator on CSPAN. He should go that route.
Well, he’s far from the best pro players And he’s getting older. He insults the customers/ fans. he’s instant big- time money losses for any team that hires him Why would any team hire a guy who’s gonna cost it a ton of $$?
MSNBC needs a sports expert.................
Does this indicate their is not a team “WOKE ENOUGH” in the NFL that wants his mouth or attitude to represent who they are for the next couple years? I’m beside myself in disbelief...…////////////////
Lol, can someone post the Simpson’s “HA HA” pointing guy?
Nike celebrates by creating a shoe with a likeness of Pol Pot.
Not even the world’s smallest violin will show up for this one.
No owner wants the 3 ring circus of Kapernick on their team.
Good, could not have happened to a nicer a—hole.
When he sued them he signed his own death warrant. His career is utterly kaput.
“ Any chances he has would be in the CFL or Europe. “
I don’t know about the CFL....Is there a Yukon Football League?
