    All quarterbacks in the NFL are in demand...including second and third string guys. If you have a guy like Mark Sanchez still on a roster in 2018, you can pretty much say that Kaepernick was definitely being blackballed & denied work...regardless of his regression, he still fit a certain way of playing.

    Kaepernick was absolutely blackballed. There is no question. At the same time, suing the people who you are trying to get to employ you isn’t going to help.

    And that isn’t putting any blame on Kaep but just an observation. The owners decided that he wasn’t worth the backlash. They should’ve been stronger

    Nothing was going to help him. What else could he possibly have done?

    He couldn’t have done anything else.

    I simply said that trying to sue the people that he wanted to employ him wouldn’t have helped his chances

    He had zero chance if he did nothing. Forcing info out in the open might have increased his chances to miniscule and simultaneously opened the door to compensation for his mistreatment.

    I don't really get your point.

    He had zero chance of getting a contract if he did nothing?

    Bill O’Brien says he’s likely to take a knee with his players this season.

    As expected, Drew Brees releases his apology on Instagram.

    You have to wonder what the people who said signing Kaep was too problematic for locker room harmony and that no player is big enough to cause that much disruption in the team a few years ago, think Brees should be released now.

    I mean we all know the answer they'd almost universally give, but still. :D
