Free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his representatives contacted the Titans following an injury to signal-caller Marcus Mariota, but Tennessee expressed no interest in meeting with Kaepernick or working him out, according to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com.
Mariota is sidelined for today’s contest against the Dolphins, and could potentially miss more time as he deals with a hamstring issue. The Titans, however, are rolling with Matt Cassel as their starting quarterback for the time being, and signed veteran Brandon Weeden to serve as Cassel’s backup.
Kaepernick, meanwhile, has continued to work out and has been “diligent” about getting in touch with clubs who have witnessed quarterback injuries. However, no team has entered into contract negotiations or even been willing to meet with Kaepernick aside from the Seahawks, who visited with Kaepernick earlier this year.
While Kaepernick is clearly the best quarterback available on the open market, his social activism is thought to be responsible for his lack of work. But the former 49ers passer is apparently willing to audition for any team at any time, as La Canfora tweets.
This is absurd
Absolutely ridiculous that teams won’t even meet with the guy when they need a QB. So when all these guys protesting are free agents are they going to go unsigned? Give the guy a flippin chance already!
Yeah, why won’t teams sign this giant clubhouse cancer, uninformed, loud mouth, anti-American, pro Cuban, crappy QB? They must be crazy.
Clubhouse cancer? Proof? His teammates say he was great.
you know this how? because that’s what fox news told you?
He’s actually very soft spoken
Other than that he’s exactly what teams are liking for.
