[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1609117, member: 38590"] He is being blackballed from the league. The NFL claims that teams just aren't interested due to "character concerns", but this is unlikely given that there are teams that currently employ players who have been convicted of child abuse and violent assaults against women. Kaepernick is better than the backup quarterback on most teams, and could probably be a starter for some. He filed a grievance against the NFL through the players union, which the NFL settled for several million dollars. More recently, his lawyers have threatened to file a lawsuit against the NFL. The NFL responded by offering to host an opportunity for him to work out for team scouts and executives. The workout ended up being a sham, as the NFL refused to allow any media to attend (media normally attends these events) and would not permit Kaepernick or any members of his party to film the workout (also not normal). The NFL also tried to require that he sign a contract that would have prevented him from filing any future lawsuits. These unusual and unreasonable requirements prompted Kaepernick to back out at the last minute. [/QUOTE]
