    Default Report: Colin Kaepernick meeting with Seahawks Wednesday, will work out for team

    Colin Kaepernick has generated very little interest on the free-agent market for the past two-plus months, but he may have found a landing spot. According to NFL Network, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is meeting with the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday and is expected to work out for the team.

    That might be a good fit for him.

Special talent gets special considerations is the overriding principle when any player does anything that angers the fan base, aka Michael Vick. If Kaep was a special talent, NFL GMs would’ve cared about him exercising his 1st amendment rights. A number of other players were doing overt protests during pregame activities long before Kaep took his knee for the 1st time, the 1st I can recall was the Rams players in response to local events. Have any of them been blackballed?

    Bottom line, he got benched towards the end of the 2015 season because he was playing so bad that the 49ers figured they had nothing to lose giving a guy who got ran out of his previous town a chance. He was already the backup QB when he took his knee for the 1st time. When that guy played at least as bad as he had previously did, Coach Kelly decided to that he had nothing to lose but his job if his team didn’t stop losing games. So he gave Kaep another chance, who then demonstrated that he’d been previously benched for a good reason. That’s why he remained a FA as long as he did.

    The chronological order of the article was great. It's like everyone forgot he sucked before he became a social justice warrior.

    Actually, I'd no idea that his career had been circling the drain as long as it had been. I don't think I've actually watched him play since they lost the SB.

    I equate Kap to Tebow in that both guys are/were probably better than some second/third stringers on rosters, but teams don't want to bring in backups who generate that many headlines.

    The Seahawks also brought in Austin Davis for whatever that's worth.

    "The Broncos went from one of the more attractive organizations in the NFL to one in total disarray. McDaniels will go down as one of the most reviled figures in Denver sports history".
