LeGOATski Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Lol, okay Kaepernick. I don't think he has any desire to get back into the NFL. If he still loves football, he could coach, I guess, or else get paid the normal salary to be in the AAF. Maybe he's waiting for the XFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 If Vince McMahon is gonna shell out huge contracts for star players and try to compete with the NFL, then the XFL will die a quick death once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 $20 million is hilarious. And people think he is being black balled? He's keeping himself out of the league if that's his asking price. I've suspected all along that he refused to be a backup and take a backup's sallary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Idk, given all that Kap has gone thru & the sideshow that would come from him playing in the AAF, asking for 20 million kinda makes sense from the standpoint it'd have to be worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) When the league first started I wondered if he would play because if he went out and looked great, and is still unsigned by an nfl team, wouldn’t it basically lock up his whole collusion case? I didn’t consider that he’d ask to be paid like Aaron Rodgers. Edited February 15, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo86 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 It's possible that Kaepernick doesn't want to play in the AAF at all, and gave $20M as the crazy number it would take to get him to change his mind. It's like when you agree to get with some gross person if your buddies will pay you $5,000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t get it, unless he just wants to get paid for NOT playing, which seems to be almost impossible. This is not a guy who loves the game. So, go ahead and make it easier on the league to ignore you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics are appreciated of course, unless it’s REALLY gross! Just a few thoughts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Apps Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Clear this story isn’t real, great for the AAF to keep some attention on them as they compete against NBA All-Star Weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Kap knew his career was over. He made his “stand” and lost his job. Many players have lost their jobs due to becoming a distraction in the locker room (media) Is he blackballed? Maybe. Is Tebow? Or is it they are just not NFL quarterback material? Kap is riding this victim thing to huge paydays outside his NFL life. Eric Reid took the knee, was finally signed by Carolina, has a good season and is rewarded with a new shiny 3 year contract. Fact is Kap doesn’t want to play, because he’ll be exposed and lose all his hype behind his “movement” This isn’t a race issue. It’s not solely because he took a knee. Tebow was as much if not more of a distraction for his teams and he too was let go. I don’t have a beef with the guy, but I find it kinda sickening he’s in the news still. I’m all for equal rights and less racial issues in the country, and of course don’t support police abusing power.. However this douche should not be the cover boy for these issues. There are thousands and thousands of educated men of different races who could be the face of equality, it should of never been a washed up NFL player holding tightly to his last 15 minutes of fame 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing of the report, of this report came out a week or two before the AAF season I could believe it. This just seems like a PR spin by the AAF to keep the attention of their league. I doubt Kaepernick and AAF had any real discussions besides whether he was interested in playing in their league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
