NFL Source: Kaepernick Turned Down At Least 1 Contract To Play Up The Race Card
Daily Caller ^ | August 7, 2017 | Christian Datoc

Posted on 08/08/2017 3:07:06 AM PDT by C19fan

Colin Kaepernick is still a free agent, and an NFL inside source told The Daily Caller Monday that the former 49ers quarterback has no one but himself to blame. Despite the ongoing narrative that Kaepernick’s very public political views are preventing any NFL teams from offering him a roster spot, TheDC’s source claims Kaep himself has turned down at least one contract in the hopes of stirring up a media frenzy that eventually leads to a more lucrative deal for the 27 year old vet.

The story is that Ravens coaching staff wanted to sign him, but Steve Bisciotti effectively said no.

Seahawks will sign CK.

My take on it: he's been in the league long enough to realize he's a B-list QB at best. He and his agent/handler know that his best shot at fame and cashing in on that fame is to continue and even expand the controversy surrounding him. If he had quietly signed as the backup QB at some team that finished under .500 last year (which is where he belongs in the grand scheme of things) no-one would be talking about him. He'd put in a few years and eventually get cut. Now, this dumb-**s is in the news about once a week with some new BS.

Any team that signs him ... I just cannot even imagine it. That would be perhaps the dumbest decision in the history of professional football. He is simply not that good of a QB. He'd give a team an immediate and multi-season long PR black eye (no pun intended). He would be absolutely toxic in the locker room and destroy team moral and cohesiveness.

In short, his NFL career is already over. He's now staring in his own "reality" show which is just about as (un)real as any of the others.

Could be running for his first political seat on the San Francisco City Council then on up to the state legislature.

It’s not breaking, though. Bupkis on the sports wires, Twitter. I don’t listen to sports radio. Is it being mentioned there? I’m wondering if the gutless wonders at the NFL are using this selectivity released story like a tactical nuke strike to send a message to that ant brain, Kaepernick. Makes me wonder how hard it is to get a hold of that idjit.

"He may end taking his mediocre talents to the Canadian Football League."

Don't count on that. The CFL season is already two months old. Also, you may have misjudged Canadian sports fans. Believe it or not, they show great respect for BOTH national anthems. Recently, the Star Spangled Banner was spontaneously sung by the fans at an NHL game in Edmonton. Political statements against either country would be severely received in Canada by sports fans.

He will sign a contract with the Tehran Terror

That gives new meaning to "throwing a bomb."

Yeah, a black guy raised by a white family and then getting a multimillion dollar contract is a perfect representative for black people and their American experience. Why do these guys (Obama is another) have such a complex about who they are?
