What’s the NFL trying to draw attention from?
 
A week and a half ago the NFL told reporters they would have a big announcement this Tuesday. The announcement was that Colin Kaepernick would have a workout this Saturday for all teams. There are rumblings that CK didn’t set this up and the NFL did.

If true...what is the NFL trying to divert attention from?

according to radio yesterday Kaepernick is expecting the decision makers..head coaches and gun of all teams. This wont happen with teams traveling and getting ready for games on Sunday.
I can hear the cry from Kaepernick of he didn't get a fair shake since all who attended were non decision makers

Can he play lb? Asking for CP.

If more than 3 teams send anyone it will be a sign the NFL twisted arms of the NFL teams to show up. Further I believe that the pressure will be applied to have one team make a couple million dollar offer to him. Not sure it will be enough for Kap but I think that they have convinced a team to make this go away not even sure if Kap needs to complete a pass just get it in the vicinity of the Wr.

Not to mention that the NFL scouts are pretty busy on Saturdays during the regular season as well. The whole thing is a sham.

I wish a team would sign him and put him at nose guard.

Whole thing is a complete sham. NFL league offices and Goodell are masters of bullshit and creating smokescreens.

It is a sham but I also still think CK could have been on a roster if he wanted to be.

TribalElder 11-14-2019 10:03 AM

**** you sherman, we have mahomie now, NO STOPPING SHIT!

Also, I heard speculation that the NFL forced the workout to be saturday even after kaep requested a tuesday. One talking head speculated they might think he is out of shape and hasn't really been doing all that 5am workout stuff. I doubt this matters, more likely just a CYA by the NFL

He won’t sign with a team.

It’s just a PR stunt by the NFL.

“No teams were interested in signing Colin, it’s not the direction they wanted to go, but never forget that Chad Kelly and Matt Barkley are still employed”

Not following. Do you think there were teams that offered him a contract, or offered him the opportunity to attend camp these past couple of years and he refused? If so I would also assume that those same teams would let it be known that they reached out-- but he declined.

I think his agent told teams that CK wanted to be a starter and asked for starting QB money but teams were not interested in either scenario. He wasn't going to start so he went in another direction. Just speculation on my part.
