He wont be in prison long. When the chairman needs a kidney, the first Party leader needs a liver, and his grandmother needs a heart theyll part him out faster than a cheap AR.
Think "NIKE"
Are you joking you can't be serious with this shit? Kaepernick is/was baggage no team owner wants or needs he brought this on himself period. He is not blacklisted just nobody wants a mediocre QB with all the BS he would bring. Fuck him he made his choices now he has to live with the consequences.
Just put him on ignore and eventually, like any other story, the cycle will change and he will blow away like dried up dog shit.
Let's quit propelling this myth that he or any player has a right to take a knee during the National Anthem. He was on his employers time and dime and if they want to have a policy that every player stands for the National Anthem or they don't play then they have a right to enforce that. Constitutional rights do not apply here. Now on his own time and dime he can do what he wants.
Even on his own time he can't do whatever he wants.

www.usatoday.com Just so I am understanding. When you say 'NFL' are you suggesting the NFL is forbidding individual franchises from offering him a contract?Nope, not joking. If "baggage" was an issue, then I suspect that teams would be far less accommodating of legal issues:
NFL player arrests database: Records since 2000 | USA TODAY Databases | USA TODAY NETWORK
These are arrests, charges and citations of NFL players for crimes more serious than common traffic violations. Almost all of the players belonged to an NFL roster at the time of the incident. In rare cases, a free agent is included only if that player later signs with an NFL team. The data...
If Kaepernick is a "mediocre" QB, then by definition he'd be better than half the league. Which seems about right; I certainly wouldn't put him anywhere close to the top tier, but he'd likely be a credible starting QB for one of the bottom-half teams, and would certainly be a quality backup.
Telling someone with whom we disagree to "live with the consequences" is pretty easy. It's a lot harder to apply that same principle when the time comes that it gets forced upon someone with whom we agree, and that time is going to come (or already has, as has been pointed out in the case of Tebow).
Once again, the NFL is a monopoly, and as such shouldn't be allowed to wield its power to censor employees in the same fashion as, say, the local fast-food joint.
Do you have any proof of this?
If you think some NFL thug that gets into a scuffle with his gold digger brings the same baggage as someone not standing for the national anthem then you are naïve.Nope, not joking. If "baggage" was an issue, then I suspect that teams would be far less accommodating of legal issues:
