His agent is allegedly shopping him out. I wonder if he still thinks he's worth more than the league minimum? He claims to be in football shape, what with Nissa the Trainer and all...
is there a new-ish Kaep thread?

Only Kaep-related news I've heard is that his shoe commercial won an award.
Imagine his agent is keeping his ear to the ground listening for possibilities. Been a couple of QB injuries, but his name hasn't been floated as an option that I've heard.

Sounds like agent has been on the phone.

Well, like the guy or not he's better than a lot of QB's in this league. Shoot, he's better than some of the starters.

This, if he'd just stop with the political b.s. he'd make some team a decent QB

I think the Kraepper would be a bottom tier starter or top back up QB.
Still a one read and run QB, but he’s got a gun and can run. Most back ups don’t have both of those traits.

At 31 ( almost 32), out of the league for years, and reportedly on a vegan diet not sure he has either of those tools anymore.Sports Hernia":2roox736 said:
If he really wanted to play, should have made Denver or Baltimore work when he had the chance. I hope he does get another shot just so the martyr headlines go away.

His career is over...his fault...he played the game got some cash and notoriety and that's it for him. I suspect he wouldn't be in the league anyway even without the kneeling.
Distraction.
They booted Tebow out of the league, even though he was a good backup. But he came with too much noise, not worth it.
Kaep would bring the same thing, but 100x more the media distraction. Too much noise. Not worth it.
He has also been out of the league forever, a lot of regression has taken place.
A year or two ago his asking price was $20M a year.
He sued the league.
Add all this up, and the odds are extremely low.
One of the most overrated QBs of all time. I doubt at this juncture he is Starting material, maybe middle of the pack backup, with ZERO upside, No team is putting up with a media firestorm for that.

Good points, I was just going off his career. I haven’t been paying attention to his life after football to this point.Osprey":1qerwcfg said:

Jets just signed David Fales to back up Luke Falk. So, that’s not stellar as a QB room.
Keepernick has played no games in the last two years. Fales has played a total of three games in the last two years, throwing one TD and one INT.
I dunno, if I was signing a player who didn’t know the system, I’d sign a guy who could at least run their way out of trouble and had a boatload of experience playing in the league.

Stop getting your news from Facebook and talk radio. That is completely made up. He did not set such a price for NFL teams. The 20 million rumor was with respect to the Alliance of American Football, and while I doubt it is true, it if is true, he and everyone involved knew it was an impossible price, and clearly would be a statement of some kind to the people involved (in other words, a big middle finger for the AAF thinking they could use him to get ratings, exposure and to make money).Fade":2zj80xny said:
He never had contract discussions with any team after he left the 49ers (which, by the way, involved John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan telling him that he'd be cut if he didn't opt out, due to the fact that he is not a fit for Shanahan's system. This was confirmed by Lynch, and even Fox News has an article on it). The Broncos did not offer him a contract (that was a trade discussion that happened BEFORE the protest); The Seahawks did not have contract discussions with him (that was a proposed workout that was cancelled); the Ravens did not have contract discussions with him (that was an internal discussion among the Ravens brass about whether or not to try to sign him, which was ended when Kap's girlfriend accused Ray Lewis of being an Uncle Tom).
Note: I don't care about Kaepernick. He's not a 49er any more. But I'm sick of seeing very OBVIOUS fake news about him.

Well he probably will never wear a NFL uniform the un verified but very obvious blackball by the league is evident to a extreme, might as well call him Pete Rose of the NFL, not for the same reason but the snubbing aspect.
Is it black ball or is it the guy is not worth the hassle? If Russell Wilson did the same thing Kap did Russell Wilson would still be a starting quarterback because he's worth the hassle, he can win games. The problem with Kap is you know he's not going to win you a title, sure he's probably a better backup the most but there's no upside to bringing him in, plus outside of the Ravens your totally changing your offense for the guy. He won't be back.
