I think he appears every year to regain his poor victim status and to torture a very deserving of torture NFL. Kind of makes me want to chuckle.

No gettin’ rid of this guy. He is like a festering boil on their arse.

“The Raiders have four quarterbacks on their roster right now. “

Yup. It’s starting to look like the Raiders drew the short straw at the last owners meeting, after they all decided the best way to shut up Colon was to offer the old whiner a shot and then say he’s just too old.

they were playing videos of his practice throws. He couldn’t play for a college team, much less the NFL.

If some team wants him, they can have him.

As a Broncos fan, I’d love the Raiders to make them their QB.

Johnny Manziel is an alcoholic that could not stop drinking. IF he could have controlled his alcohol intake he could have had a great NFL career.

Similar story is Josh Gordon. He has been on half a dozen NFL teams. He keeps getting suspended because he can not stop smoking dope and drinking. When he was with the Patriots they had a guy hired just to babysit him and keep him sober. It didn’t work.

This has nothing to do with him being black, raised by white parents in absolute privilege, no less! This has nothing to do with his misguided politics. This has nothing to do with him, PERSONALLY, being ‘arrested while black’ or anything even remotely CLOSE, because IT NEVER HAPPENED!

He SUCKS as a QB, and that has EVERYTHING to do with it!

P.S. Brett Favre is still available if the Raiders need him.

*SNORT*

Virtue signaling to the Wokesters. They’ll work him out, he won’t cut it, but they’ll be protected from the dreaded “R” word.

As a Chiefs fan I second that.

He wanted a starting job. There were none.

There were several. But no one wanted his locker room and sideline antics to distract the team.

My recollection was there were only backup job openings or at least backup pay until he proved himself.

Over the years there were several, I should have clarified.

Why didn’t he even try out for a USFL or XFL team?

Even practice squad players make $8,000 a week!
