Certainly no offense taken. I worked with a child abuser back in the 80s, he was a key team member. VP level knew of his legal problems, just turned a blind eye. After key projects were completed he was let go. He was selling insurance soon thereafter. When he needed references, he was completely dry to the well. No one was going to go to bat for him as talented as he was. He was about 35 yo at the time
Re Greg Hardy. He was seen as a potential game changer. Kapernick is no game changer. Hardy was let go because he didn't deliver + he was a negative press machine after arriving. Lot of bad pub came out of Hardys time here

The guy never did any of his protesting or mouthing off until he hooked up with her. She is a very vocal left wing radical radio host. His transformation was pretty obvious.

we're still talking about him, but he's starting to fizzle out.
Time will tell (and it may not be completely obvious on the surface) whether he can capitalize on his 15 min or not, relative to had he kept his mouth shut.
One thing that isn't known is whether teams have offered him 'minimum' contracts to be a package player or backup player, and whether those offers have been declined or declared off the table by team Kaepernick.

If he were offered contracts it wouldn't make sense to sue for collusion.

Supposedly Baltimore offered him a contract; Ray Lewis swears by this, and then Kaep's g/f went on a racist rant on Twitter against the Raven owner, and the offer was pulled.

You would think any offers kill the case against collusion.
I'm just B.S.ing/guessing along with everybody else.
I do recall Baltimore offers/rumors that fell through...
Basically I'm wondering out loud if Kaep's agent has made it clear that CK isn't considering any negotiations that aren't greater than a league-minimum guarantee-barren contract. Fair or unfair, something like that could be argued as a difference in market value.

Ray knows where his bread is buttered. With the CK story and some other stories where Ray Lewis has recently used his voice to speak out against athletes, he's been called an 'uncle tom' on twitter/social-media. Probably not fair, although kind of funny. He's also a guy who's been used in the CK debate as a contrast (accused of murder, beat trial with top-class legal team, star in the league)...

From SI
For risking a lucrative athletic career in his prime by staging protests against injustice, Colin Kaepernick has often been compared to Muhammad Ali. Thus, in giving the former 49ers quarterback an annual award named in honor of the boxing icon, Sports Illustrated declared that “no winner has been more fitting than Kaepernick.”
I didn't know Sports Illustrated was now a liberal rag, what a joke. How can you compare Kaepernick a guy who grew up in a middle class Northern California neighborhood in the late 90's and 21 century to a guy who grew
up poor in the Jim Crow south. Kaepernick didn't face oppression a day in his life. As for what his protest cost him, it wasn't much, he was benched for Blaine Gabbert when he started protesting, his play had descended where his market value was in the couple million a year range, he was no longer in his prime either, his prime was his second year, it was all down hill after that.

There is a whole lot more people out there who put on uniforms and actually did something about social injustices. We fly a flag to honer them.
I'll go with them, not the useless turds who dis-honor them by kneeling to cry and whine about crap. Colin is nothing but a useless turd.

Every third post in the off topic section of this board is complaining abt the current status of the country, and most of the posters are people on the right. You're not mad at him for "dishonoring the flag". Stop fibbing

Interesting POV. Do you have any idea how many people here would make the same statement but substitute the word "left?"
