There are some within the 49ers organization that believe Colin Kaepernick may focus on social justice issues on a full-time basis rather than play football, Peter King of The MMQB writes. However, Dave Zirin of The Nation (on Twitter) has personally spoken to Kaepernick and the quarterback says that he is not moving on from football. He adds that the controversial QB is working out every day with the hope of landing a camp invite.

So far, there has been no real interest in Kaepernick’s services this offseason. If Kaepernick has not even received an offer for a non-guaranteed deal enabling him to compete in training camp, then one has to imagine that his polarizing politics are keeping him out of the NFL. On top of that, some teams are apparently concerned about his vegan diet and his commitment to football, It’s not clear if Kaepernick has managed to bulk up this offseason or if he’s even looking to add pounds to his thinned out frame.
In 2016, Kaepernick threw for 16 touchdowns against four interceptions. He also averaged 7.2 yards per passing attempt (up from 6.2 in 2015) and finished second among QBs in rushing yards (468, on a lofty 6.8 per carry).
This guy…. Sooooo edgy. Douche
Good riddance to him
Good riddance to both of you from the forum
Everyone on here hates Colin Kaepernick like he bullied them in elementary school or something lol
There is definitely something behind the scenes going on as to why he hasn’t been signed. I’d love for him to sign with the Chiefs as a backup but don’t see that happening with Alex Smith there.
there definitely is something going on, its called a distinct lack of talent for the qb position. Why would the chiefs sign him, they just drafted mahomes, and im pretty sure for as raw as mahomes would be, hes still probably further along than kap is at this point.
I would love for you to be right that Mahomes is ready to backup Smith but you being “pretty sure” isn’t gonna win football games – wish it did. Kaepernick is a decent enough backup, better than Tyler Bray or the other guy who’s never seen the field. It would never happen regardless but my point is the Chiefs need a veteran backup at least in the mix and if Mahomes beats him out then that’s that.
Andy Reid made the playoffs with AJ Feely at QB. He’d go 2-2 with you and me at QB.
Colin who?
Last one in the building, first one leaving. Teammates respected his ideas, that’s why he won the teammate award. Not many liked his work ethic
My brothers and I call him Colin Crapernick.
That’s super cool man you really got him there good burn
I wonder what he contemplates while kneeling. I suspect it’s along the lines of “did I turn the oven off” or “did I lock the back door” but I like how his photo has a Valencia filter and is “instartistic” and everyone else’s is a game action shot.
