He was known for taking a knee during the national anthem, a protest against police brutality that inspired other prominent athletes to do the same but drew strong backlash from many NFL fans.

Kaepernick played in the NFL for six seasons from 2011 to 2016 before opting out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers and becoming a free agent. “There’s a QB right there in New Jersey who took a team to a Super Bowl and a NFC championship game. Sports reporter Jemele Hill called for the Jets to sign Kaepernick while live-tweeting the game Monday, citing his accolades during his time in the league.
He is expected to miss the rest of the season, meaning the Jets will have a vacancy to fill at quarterback, though backup Zach Wilson is the most likely replacement. The news comes as Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered an Achilles tendon tear just four plays into his debut with the team Monday against the Buffalo Bills. Kind of surprised you didn’t think this through before posting.” “Maybe if he had not sued the nfl he would have had a job years ago, he’s finished,” another added. Cam Newton still out there and 3x better,” one said. “Kaepernick remains on the West Coast working out.Ĭommenters on the post expressed disbelief with the claim. “I just spoke with Colin Kaepernick, who tells me his agent has reached out to the #Jets about his desire to make an NFL return,” Schultz wrote. NFL insider Jordan Schultz, who claimed to have spoken with Kaepernick, announced the news via X Tuesday. Thanks to my man Dadyan for the assistance.NEW YORK (TND) - An agent representing Colin Kaepernick has contacted the New York Jets in hopes of landing the former quarterback an NFL comeback. My trust runs with the Feds, where does yours? I’d say that means they have some pretty darn concrete evidence. Don’t believe this stuff? The FBI has made arrests and has been investigating this case for nearly a year. A post on Tide Sports says McGregor made a payment of $250,000 to Cam Newton’s uncle through a PAC, and then the uncle funneled the money back to Cam’s father. McGregor’s attorney denied his client had any involvement with the Newtons, but we’ll wait until we hear what the FBI has to say. The FBI had wire tapped McGregor and many others regarding this case, and that’s how they came across all the information about Auburn’s pay for play schemes, including Cam Newton. McGregor was trying to pay off politicians to vote in favor of pro-gambling legislation. McGregor is an Auburn booster who ran a greyhound racing track called VictoryLand and he was recently arrested along with 10 others in a political bribery scheme. Why would the FBI be involved in the investigation of a college football player? As we learned on Wednesday from TMZ, the FBI was asking about Milton McGregor’s involvement in the Cam Newton case. Now what makes me feel so certain a good amount of this information is accurate? The FBI’s presence in the case. Now, as for some shadier ways, check out this creativity.įrom TD: “Such things include guaranteed winning slot machines for AU players at Milt’s (Colonial Board member, AU Booster) Casino, unmarked ATM cards issued to AU players from Colonial Bank (Bobby Lowder-AU Board Member and Booster Pat Dye-Colonial Board member, AU employee and Booster), forgiven loans to families, friends, donors, etc.” Money from that fund may have been used in recruiting. Another way suggested by Tiger Droppings has been donating to the Alabama Children’s First Foundation. So how has money been funneled to players recently? Well one way has been through the Fine-Geddie lobbying group, which has been paid through Auburn’s booster fund Tigers Unlimited Foundation (also prominently noted at Sports by Brooks).
You know what that means? The people controlling Auburn’s booster funds also controlled one of the state’s most powerful banks, and vice versa. The incredible research and investigation done by blueTunaTiger at the LSU site Tiger Droppings points out that over the past 10 years, about five people have served as members of the Auburn Board of Trustees as well as Colonial BancGroup’s Board of Directors.
