Hear me out on this one... seriously... go to the CFL. He would be the face of the league, Day 1. and if we're being honest... he's probably a better QB there, the offenses are wide open, and he can still float the balls like he does.

While I think Deion is certainly capable of that, I don’t believe that story. The lack of self-awareness if they did that would be inconceivable. The Browns would cut him right away I’d think.
Posters laughing or dumbing the fact that kaepernick was better than most back ups, list at least 15 back ups that were better than him at the time. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, late to this party here but genuinely curious. What time frame are you referring too? 2016?
Was he willing to take a probably sizeable pay cut to be a backup? Because if not then it's kind of a moot point.
Also if were comparing CK to backups, that is definitely not apples to apples. He was still a starter in 16
He was still good enough to be a starter. He was better than more than a couple starters even after only playing 12 games in 16.
He only played 12 games in 2016. He was still better than a number of starters.
I mean yeah, that’s typically how players are judged. My take is that he was still good enough to be a starter or worst case a back up. People here were comparing kaepernick situation to sanders situation, which is asinine.

Moar drama!!
It does kinda suck that Hunter is being dragged into this. He deserves to have his number retired, waiting period or not.
Man, I looked at those 3 years of schedules.
They had a hell of a noncon too. Wow.
Colin Kaepernick wasn’t blackballed by the league. He was offered multiple contracts to come into teams to be a backup. He demanded to be the starter. He wasn’t willing to be a backup. Every single NFL team sent scouts and coaches to watch him workout for his “comeback,” only for him one hour before to say he was doing it somewhere else, over an hour away. Then cried that they were against him. Everything CK has done or does since the kneeling, is to CK’s benefit or gain. He never was serious about playing football. Everything he does is to keep his name in the spotlight and financially profit. He’s made way more money scamming people with his fake narratives since then, then he ever would have playing football. He also didn’t initially kneel. He sat and pouted on the bench during the national anthem for three games because he had been benched. When he was finally called out about it, that’s when he said he was protesting to save face. The kneeling came the next week. The dudes a fake, con artist who has done little to nothing to help his so called causes he claims he did this for. Eric Reid being blackballed by the league is a completely different story. He was a top 10 safety in the league when he became a free agent, then was not offered by any team until it became a story that he wasn’t signed. And he is actually active and helps the causes that CK only claims to do. To finish, CK was mediocre at best his final two years. His record as a starter was 3-16 his last two years with around 180 yards passing per game. Was he good enough to still be in the NFL? Absolutely. He wasn’t interested though. His actions prove that.
Still the most memorable game I’ve ever attended in my life. 12 year old me had a blast sledding during the game and watching sitting in snow drifts. .
you should look at his stats from week 13 of that season against the Bears. 4 yards passing. 5 sacks.
