His refusal to play in the AAF is hardly persuasive here, since it is a brand new league on dubious financial footing.  The Orlando team is practicing in Georgia because of the Worker's Comp laws.

Furthermore, Why was there opportunity?  What distinguishes Kaepernick from a training camp cut if there were zero basis for his claim?

For the recrod, he wasn't offered $20 million to play in the AAF.  He asked for $20 million to play in the AAF, knowing they likely couldn't pay it.

He wants to play in the NFL because he is good enough and it is the most stable league around.

I gave Bortles and Leftwich the same pass.

QBs need surrounding talent to succeed.

Turns out he didn't even ask for money, he just declined playing. Pretty suspicious that the fake news all dropped prior to his settlement with the NFL

Whether he actually demanded the $20 million or not, he was certainly good enough to be on an NFL roster the past couple of years.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
