NFL Owners Apparently Not Interested in Colin Kaepernick
SBNation ^ | 27 Jul 2017 | Adam Stites

Colin Kaepernick is likely being blackballed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. There have been plenty of other reasons and excuses provided by NFL teams to explain why the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is still a free agent, but Kaepernick’s protests from the 2016 season loom large.

In a Thursday morning appearance on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike, Adam Schefter said he believes that NFL owners have tried to keep coaches and front-office personnel from going after Kaepernick.

“Do I think that certain owners have blocked teams from visits or interest? I do, I do believe that,” Schefter said. “And I think that there has been more interest in him from the coaching and front office level than there has been at the ownership level. So it was always going to take a unique opportunity for him to be brought in, in the right place, at the right spot, at the right time.”

Many others believe NFL owners have halted general managers from signing Kaepernick, but Schefter is one of the most connected reporters in the league and one of the few to actually say that owners are likely the reason Kaepernick is still a free agent.

“I hope Kaepernick never plays another NFL game. “

I am sure there’s a downtown SF Shoeshine Stand that has an “opening!”

Many NFL QB’s have been blackballed for their horrible QB rating, Kay Pernick is not special.

Looks like he’s been Tebowed.

Except Tim was blacklisted for being a Christian, while Kapernick is being Tebowed for being a traitor.

You don’t have a ‘right’ to play in the NFL. If you are an a$$hole and no one wants you, then that’s your fault- and not theirs.

The customer has spoken with their dollars. Owners aren’t dumb. Most aren’t politically correct.

Exactly. The team owners are businessman and they are allowed to not choose someone who would damage their brand name or the NFL as a whole. That is why they are called owners.

They are called “owners” for a reason.
And they can decide who they extend an invitation
to join their team.

The Kat has talent as a community organizer.
Let him seek a job in that field.
I’m certain George Soros would hire him.

His performance has been lousy and he is known for “conduct detrimental to the team”, a no-no in the NFL.

What’s to like?
