Colin Kaepernick is seeking receivers to catch his passes and a team to sign him.

Kaepernick, who led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance following the 2012 season, last played in the NFL in 2016, the same year he started kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice.

On Sunday, he wrote on Twitter: “For The past 5 years I’ve been working out and staying ready in case an opportunity to play presented itself. I’m really grateful to my trainer, who I’ve been throwing to all this time. But man, do I miss throwing to professional route runners. Who’s working?? I will pull up.”

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett quickly volunteered and Kaepernick responded, saying he’ll be there Monday and coordinate with him. It wasn’t immediately known where they will get together.

That’s what happens when you sh*t in your nest.

Antonio Brown would be a good fit.

Lining up another NFL shakedown.

Pathetic parasite.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

He’s going to have to buy a team to get himself back on the field.

Nobody wants an compulsive troublemaker.

Receivers?

He just missed it. Jussie done gone to jail.

[Sacajaweau]

Actions have consequences...and you're no Patrick Mahomes.

In other words...tough sh**.

[Jonty30]

He does not want to play in the NFL. Even when he tried out last time, you could tell that he lost almost all his skills.

It’s just more publicity for the hound.

A couple of former Alabama WR have time on their hands. Might get Antonio Brown too.

Kaepernick is smart. He does not want to get hit. I believe he had a desire to play football but that was ten years ago. People change. Football is a violent game so Kaepernick found a new gig where he does not have to risk physical injury.

[Hypo2]

Another dillusional Democrat…”That’s make sports political…I am as fit and as skilled as ever”

Tone deaf…

[Hypo2]

[lee martell]

Colin, our legal system just got done wiping the courtroom floors with Jussie. Maybe it will be soon your turn to finally face the off beat music of your own warped, self centered making.

[Hypo2]

If you politicize a sport…it is difficult to backtrack and make ability/skills #1

[Rummyfan]

Colin, you have been out of the league for six years! That is an eternity in the NFL, and you weren't exactly lighting it up six years ago. Given the controversy you engender, the fans you alienate, and your marginal talent, no NFL team will touch you with a ten-foot pole. There are plenty of serviceable backup QBs available on the free agent market who are not agitating pain-in-the-asses who claim that every play-call is racist. So f*** off!

[BiglyCommentary]

Wasn’t he a no show for that?

[Rummyfan]

For The past 5 years I’ve been working out and staying ready in case an opportunity to play presented itself.

LOL. Didn't a number of teams send scouts to watch him workout ... like three years ago? And then at the last minute he changed the location, effectively cancelling the workout?

[Rummyfan]

Antonio Brown would be a good fit.

LOL! They are made for each other!
