Kaepernick

[Rastak]

nope, this has nothing to do with us maybe signing him

in fact, he might have made it so no team will ever sign him now

he went full on nuclear on the nfl today

he and his lawyers filed a collusion grievance against the nfl today, basically saying the whole nfl is banding together to blackball him

no biggie, right?

wrong

if they can somehow prove their case that the nfl colluded, then because of some obscure rule in the CBA, the CBA invalidated

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ion-grievance/

this would cause massive chaos and in the long run cost the owners tons and tons of money

Good luck proving that....

Ya, it's a steep hill to climb. Each team independently determining that they do not want the controversy he represents is not collusion. Half the teams can claim they have an established starter or a young QB they see as their future, and therefore have no need for Kaepernick.

Players might want the right to express their opinions however they want, but the flip side is that they have no right to an NFL job, even if arguably they are better than someone who has an NFL job.

I suspect this is a ploy to get the NFL to blink and pay him off, or "encourage" a team to give him a job and make the issue go away.

Well reasoned and well stated.

I think he's seriously pissed and his Lawyers are setting up for a good fight.
