And, does this matter?

Here's the relevant wording of the CBA's "burden of proof" for collusion:
"The failure by a club or clubs to negotiate, to submit offer sheets, or to sign contracts with restricted free agents or transition players, or to negotiate, make offers, or sign contracts for the playing services of such players or unrestricted free agents, shall not, by itself or in combination only with evidence about the playing skills of the player(s) not receiving any such offer or contract, satisfy the burden of proof set forth …"
Kaepernick began sitting or kneeling during the national anthem while with the San Francisco 49ers in August 2016, protesting what he said was police brutality and racism.
He has remained unemployed since opting out of his contract in March.
He wouldn't be 'unsigned' had he not opted out... and are any of the other players that have taken a knee been cut?
