He'll find a place in the NFL.

He didn't do anything terrible like peacefully protesting police brutality.

Personally, I’m not convinced there is or ever was a conspiracy against Kaepernick. I’m not going to outright deny that possibility though. No doubt he faced ridiculous backlash from fans/media for speaking out on his beliefs within a very important conversation, but there have been enough former players to suggest Kaepernick messed up a lot of potential contracts in the nfl behind the scenes that had nothing to do with his protests.

Yeah idk about that one…. I don’t really like Kaeprnick myself its pretttttty objectively obvious that he was blackballed from the league after all the political and racial injustice stuff.

No it’s not. He had opportunities with other organizations that he didn’t want to take. Then he sued the league and afterwards, reportedly had a terrible workout to try to comeback. Why didn’t he have cameras at the workout? You’d think if he felt he should be in the league, he would show the public just how good he still is.

Again, this is just one person saying this but it makes sense. On top of that, warren sapp and Michael Irvin have given similar accounts
