He is obviously one of the best 64 QBs on the planet, but as a backup he isn't worth the distraction. For almost every team he would be the clear backup so it makes sense that they wouldn't be interested. For us however I think he, and his 2nd best all time INT%, could help a team that wants to protect the ball and win with run/defense.

The distraction that he (kap) would bring here is worse than any positive (which is very questionable) he would bring to the field. Don't kid yourself, that's why he's on nobodies roster. If he was that good, he'd still be on the 49's roster, simple as that. He was replaced by Blain Gabbert... doesn't that tell you something?

SF offered him a contract and he rejected it.  No other team has extended an offer because he's just not very good.  The political aspect to this is simply a peripheral issue for teams that MIGHT have considered him in a backup role.  He should have taken the money in SF.  He seriously overestimated his value on the market by rejecting the deal, and as a result, he's where he needs to be.
