I wonder how it would go over if he were to take a knee during “O Canada.”

Thank goodness it never happened, but Kap would probably be playing in Denver right now if he hadn’t demanded too much money. After Osweiler left and before the knee thing became a big deal Elway tried to bring him on board but his ridiculous salary demand nixed the deal.

I am sure they would want to pay him 10 million per year for his political views.

“Will Colin head to Canada to play for the CFL?”

No.

In Canada, football is more of a team sport.

Besides, the payroll of an entire CFL team is less than he was making.

Send us your Warren Moons and your Doug Fluties - not some loser.

Is it illegal to collude in this instance?
Are sport coaches and team owners tied to the same privacy laws as any other employer?
I suspect that area is largely unregulated and informal.
A lot still depends on how that person fits into the team.

He can always head to Zimbabwe to play in a country he feels comfortable in.

And he’ll still get millions...of Zim dollars.

Which might add up to a buck fifty.

I welcome him to Canada warmly and wholeheartedly.

But that’s only because I live in the U.S.A.

He will make 1/6 of what he would make in the NFL, if that.

He may not be a success because the game is radically different (only 3 downs, much bigger field, 12 men per side, etc.)

He risks a career-ending injury for a relatively small paycheck. And unless he maintains that Canadian cops NEVER treat minorities badly, he’s going to wear out his welcome with fans in Canada too.

Let’s not forget he quit the job he had.
Perhaps he could take a job on someones taxi squad and earn his way onto the roster ?

Please Canada! Take him!
I honestly think all he wants to do is squawk and not play.

Probably not. During Kaepernick's first couple years with the 49er's all the planets aligned: he was given the job, he had Harbaugh as his coach, he had a strong supporting cast around him. When those went away he struggled. He has a strong arm but not much touch on the ball so his short passing game is suspect. He plays well with a coach who can identify his strong points and design his game around him, and he won't necessarily have that in Canada. He's been injured and had surgery on his shoulder, thumb, and knee and those haven't been tested in game conditions. As with the NFL, any Canadian team who signs Kaepernick would be rolling the dice.

But as they say, as one door closes, another often opens.

Yes, as the door to the palace closes for Crapernick, the door to the sh*thouse opens.

Kap did not play in 2016. His last year was 2015, when he was 34th among GB’s.

All the NFL lawyer would have to say during the trial is “two and fourteen”.

Colin walked away from a contract with SF to test his worth in the league.

That’s what “option” means.

oh....and he DID find his worth in the league.....And THAT is what he’s mad about.

Nobody was willing to pay him more than if he’d stayed w SF.

Sorry, they have math in Canada. So it’s only safe for white people and Asians.
