Former NFL quarterback and woke activist Colin Kaepernick last fall likened the NFL draft to a slave auction: “What they don’t want you to understand is what’s being established is a power dynamic. Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you searching for any defect that might affect your performance. No boundary respect. No dignity left intact.” But Kaepernick has been longing for years to subject himself once again to the tyranny of those who are responsible for this horrific indignity, and now he may have his best opportunity yet: Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has revealed that the hard-Left quarterback contacted him and that he thinks he deserves a second chance.
The Seahawks are looking for a quarterback, and Carroll said Wednesday: “I thought about another guy,” Carroll said. “You can ask questions about Colin Kaepernick. I know. You’re going to ask me, so let me just put it out there. He contacted me the other day. Said, ‘Hey, I’d like to get a shot. I’m working out.’ He sent me some videos. Next thing I know, he’s working out with Tyler Lockett. I don’t know how that happened. Does that guy deserve a second shot? I think he does. Somewhere. I don’t know if it’s here. I don’t know where it is. I don’t know if it’s even in football. I don’t know.”
A tepid expression of interest at best, but if Carroll thinks Kaepernick deserves another shot, he may be the one to make it happen. Kaepernick is the best-known mediocre quarterback in the history of the NFL: the San Francisco 49ers won two and lost six with him at the helm in 2015, and in 2016, Kaepernick was even worse, leading the 49ers to only one win against ten losses

He hasn’t played a real game in years.
He’s washed up.
He sets up a “tryout” with his own hand-picked receivers and can’t even make THAT date.
He’s wet flash powder.
He might be useful as a tackling dummy...
“ Oh please be Pittsburgh. Please be Pittsburgh. ”
Let me guess?
You’re a Brown’s fan.
Depends on what kinda house and old lady he’s supporting. 20 mil might not be that much.
Kaepernick is the Romney of the football world. Kaepernick called the NFL owners slave owners and other nice names, yet this idiot wants to still work for them. He had a chance a couple of years ago but being the primadona he is, he put condiitons on and made it untnnable for teams to see what he could do. Romney called Trump many names and constantly talked against him, yet this POS sought a job as Sec State under Trump. The two are very similar, both prima donnas, both lacking any character and both causing issues with their “team”.
Great choice, Pete. We dare you to.
Carroll and Kaep and idiots and attention whores. No more to it than that.
No team even casually interested in winning would sign a superstar QB at 34 after being out of the NFL for 4 years.
Where does that put a trouble maker who was a loser when he played? Mediocre? That is being very generous.
So, how old does this clown have to get that this crapolla about him playing in the NFL finally dies a painful death? 40?
Bah. Pete Carroll was likely asked a loaded question and answered like a politician with a non-answer answer.
Okay, another chance...
Ooops, just missed it. Sorry. Things work out that way at
times.
He made his choice. He took the low road.
Next life...
Yep. Fake headline.
Kaepernick was 2-6 in 2015 and 1-10 in 2016.
He can't stop kneeling since he swore he would kneel until all racism ended.
Ok but Carrol is still an a-hole.
Nah...I really like RW. Doubt I’ll even watch the Seahawks now.
Then sign him and shut up.
Pete Carroll ran a cheating operation at USC for YEARS.
He will fit in well with CK.
I see the problem for the Seattle Seahawks.
He can polish the cars with his mega ‘fro.
Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you searching for any defect that might affect your performance.
I can't imagine why a team owner would want to know every single detail of your physical health before they pony up $10 million a year for 4 years for someone who turns out to be injured for all but 3 games. What heartless b@$stard$.
“Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you searching for any defect that might affect your performance.“
HOW DARE THEY!!! Every athlete who applies should be given a 10 million contract.
Who cares if they can’t run, have a bad shoulder , etc
Carroll is going senile.
Man, I don’t miss the NFL at all...not even a lil bit.
