Raiders, Patriots, & Browns among Favorites to Sign Kaepernick

Patriots aren't signing him. Bilicheck doesn't care about the controversy, but he knows talent. They aren't signing him. Browns aren't signing him. Baker Mayfield justified his #1 draft position on Thursday. Tyrod Taylor is more than an adequate backup. They don't need a has been. The Raiders might be a better chance, but John Gruden knows talent as well. And the Raiders are moving to Vegas where that shtick won't play so well and they don't want controversy to start their tenure there. Kaepernick's NFL career is most likely over. And he has nobody but himself to blame. Almost nobody is kneeling anymore. The league has moved on from his antics.

And, Nike should, too. I think Colin should leave his Muslim girlfriend, and hook up with Dr. Christine Ford.

He led a team to the Super Bowl.
...and lost ...and he was benched midway through the 2015 season. He then led the 49ers to a 2-14 record in 2016.

Exactly how does that type of resume indicate A. "He is better than most quarterbacks out there" and B. "He deserves a job"?

The Washington football club needs Kaepernick BIG TIME!
If the Washington Redskins are willing to pick up the phone and call Colin Kaepernick, two sources close to the former NFL quarterback said he is ready and willing to play for the franchise.

The sources told Yahoo Sports on Sunday that Kaepernick remains willing to play for any NFL team that wants to offer him a job. Both stressed that “any NFL team” includes the Redskins, in spite of longstanding criticism over the team’s logo and name, as well as team owner Dan Snyder having been one of the most critical owners on the issue of players kneeling during the national anthem.

Why would they want him? Even if he is the best option, which he isn’t, they would be setting themselves up to get sued when they cut him. Not to mention Washington only had 1 player kneel once and that was right after trump ran his mouth. Otherwise the team wants nothing to do with his controversy. They have plenty of their own.

Since his phone hasn't rung from any team in a long time he would be willing to play for the Bills or Jets if they asked.

He hasn't played in years and wasn't that great when he did.
The Redskins are perfectly capable of losing games without him
They have proven that well enough.
