Don't a lot of the other players that took a knee still have a job? So clearly taking a knee isn't a job killer.

Kaep's problem is that he isnt good enough to be a guaranteed starter. Most teams either have their established starter or are like us and still hoping their young QB will make the next step. Which leaves Kaep's only legitimate hope to find a spot as a backup. But backup QBs are mostly irrelevant and if a team has to rely on their backup for a significant amount of time, your season is most likely done. So why bring in all the unnecessary off the field distraction for a relatively unimportant position filled by a player marginally better than his competition for the spot?

Couple that with the fact that it will turn off some fans, it just doesnt make sense. The NFL has admitted the political stance hurt ratings and large numbers of Americans flat out disagree with him. It's a business decision. And I dont blame any of these teams for passing on him.
