That may be so, but he is still a distraction and puts his political views ahead of his football. I don't want a guy trying to win games for the Seahawks when his head is somewhere else. You get payed to play football, so focus on football. Keep the rest of the crap off the field. He has proven he cannot do that and that is why no other team wants him. If he is so good, then there should be another team that wants him as a starter, not a backup. The 'Hawks don't need the distraction.
He's only a distraction to the fans that want something to be outraged over.
He's a good player that has passion and obviously isn't all about himself... kind of like some other guy that is currently the QB for the Seahawks.
Anywho. I'm willing to bet a deal between the Seahawks and Kaepernick is a all written up. The Seahawks are pretty much the only team with the balls to take him on and the offense that he can play in. I'm sure it's a safety deal. They likely told him they will pay him far, far less than what he is hoping for, probably no more than $2 million, but that the offer is standing. There is no reason to pay his high asking price when the market is nonexistent for him, so they surely will be happy to let him shop around. If he can boondoggle someone into his high ask, then good for him. If he can't, he can take the small paycheck from the Seahawks and go from there.
It does make me wonder about how camp would go and what effect it would have on Wilson depending on how well Kaepernick performs. Having someone with as much potential as Kaepernick biting at Wilson's heels may not be the best thing for Wilson's physical health. We know he already pushes himself too hard, and that is without someone capable of taking his job right behind him.
