He's Baaack! Colin Kaepernick Is Begging For Another Shot – The Lid

Colin Kaepernick wasn’t fired from his last NFL team, the 49ers, and he didn’t stay unemployed because of his unAmerican protest. He opted out of his San Fransico 49ers contract because he didn’t want to be a backup quarterback and get a backup’s salary. But based on his performance, that’s all he deserved. Therefore he chose to become a free agent. The main reason Kaepernick stayed unemployed was that he priced himself out of the market. He thought he was better and worth more than his mediocracy deserved. If he had the talent that his ego thought he had, someone would have paid him the big bucks to play–but that wasn’t the case.
