I did say that. He was given a restructured contract by 49ers, no way they were paying top dollar starting QB money for a backup. He walked away from $13m.

Ravens were looking at a deal, backing up Flacco. Pulled that after his girlfriends comments - and rightly so.

Seattle, well Carroll has always claimed interest but pulling Russell Wilson to play Kaepernick? Never. Going. To Happen.

Kaepernick could easily be on a team if he was willing to accept he'd be a backup, on backup money.

It's amazing that him taking a knee has magically made him into the best QB since Montana, Marino et al. 59% accuracy over his last two seasons isn't going to make GMs rush to hire you.

Kaepernick played his little stunt when given that unprecedented workout - never done for any other player. Moving it 30 minutes before due to start because he wanted his camera crew there to film a Nike commercial? Complaining at the last minute about the waiver when they'd known the details well in advance? he knows he's done as a starting QB so is happy to moan and take the Nike money...

If any NFL team was dumb enough to sign him on the bloated money he wants and even worse start him, the only reason would be that they are tanking for Trevor Lawrence in next draft.
