    Report: Colin Kaepernick's agent contacts Steelers, Jets, Saints
    Several NFL teams are in need of a quality backup quarterback after a rash of injuries across the league in Week 2, and former 49ers star Colin Kapernick is reportedly getting in touch with QB-needy teams. Steelers veteran Ben Roethlisberger's season came to an end…



    good luck with that

                Have you seen some of the shit QBs starting in the NFL? Kap is probably better than half of them, even 3 years later. Trevor Siemien is now out for the season. He lasted 2 series??? These guys are dropping like flies.

                Now, why would Kap want to come back? The love of the game is strong but he should just call it a career before he's laid out too.

                                Will Kaepernick be willing to play for the league minimum for veterans? If not, he probably won’t be signed.

                                  I don't think he needs money

                                  He wants to play for a contender

                                  Saints would b a good fit imo but they have bridgewater

                                    I'd damn sure get him to sign an agreement to not kneel, if I'm a GM. LOL

                                      It would be an incredible story if he took a team, dare I say, to the SuperBowl. Hell, just a playoff berth would be a huge accomplishment. But what team could he fit best? Panther's most obvious. Jet's would be good too.

                                            Are people saying the Jets just that clueless?

                                            Darnold plans to return week 5: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...-week-5-return

                                            I don't care who the Jets get to play QB this Sunday, they're not beating New England. Then they are fortunate to have a bye week 4.

                                                      If Jets sign that piece of shit I wont watch another game. Season is already in shambles. Jets already have QBs that cant throw a ball they don't need to add one that is a complete drama queen that will make the season all about himself claiming he is doing it for a cause.

                                                        He's called Sam Darnold.

                                                        He's their starter and is only out for what, the NE game now.

                                                        He'll be back their next game.

                                                        Funny how so many people in this thread consider kap an option, even want to compare him to current NFL QBs, when none of the posters have seen him even handle a ball for how long?

                                                        Why not just call for Johnny Manziel? At least he still plays football.

                                                        Hman is right, after the lawsuit and settlement, cap still has an agent. That's a bit funny.

                                                          I missed this post for some reason. That's what I'm saying. We get reports he's been working out, that's it.

                                                          People forget he wasn't that good and didn't lose his starting job because of activism. He was benched because he sucked.

                                                          One the problems the coaches had was with his fourth quarter decision making. They were sick of him. They wanted to get rid of him because he wouldn't improve. Kap was basically local for me, we had access to the coaches, especially through local reporters. It is what it is. He sucked.

                                                          Guy had a good run in the playoffs because he used his legs against the Packers and was that "surprise weapon" but let's face it, that kind of play gets keyed on and doesn't last.

                                                          So what's left? People who forget how he was, and somehow think he can be better than that.

                                                          Hope all is well Pack.

                                                            I think he needs his agent to book weddings and bar mitzvah appearances

                                                              any player, let alone a QB, been out that long and comeback?
                                                              I totally agree. Impossible for him to comeback.

This anthem malarkey,was always just smoke and mirrors to the fact he wasnt relevant in the league anymore. Teams had figured out his game,along time ago. That cinderella game was almost six years ago for pete sake.
