He's had a rough couple of weeks and afaik the NFL has no way for a team who cut a guy to uncut him.

If there's a silver lining for him it's that he'll get signed somewhere. And since Andrew Hawkins just retired the Pats need a WR. So maybe he wins a Super Bowl out of this whole deal.

Yeah, that would be....

lucky.

That doesn't seem likely as he's been claimed by the Jets. Poor guy, his terrible week continues.

Atleast he has his health.

Buffalo traded Cardale Jones to the Chargers for a conditional draft pick.

Joe Flacco is out for 3-6 weeks with a disc issue in his back.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....wait...that's only an outside shot he'll miss opening day......

 

WATCH OUT NFL, FLACCOMANIA'S GONNA RUN WILD ON YOU

[Lineker]

As a Texans fan, let me reassure you and say "don't worry, you have Ryan Mallet".

[Pooker]

Why are we not talking about the Cowboys player who injured his nipple when his nipple ring was pulled off during practice?

We really need to call Kaepernick. Back issues have the tendency to linger.

[GhostMachine]

Kaepernick would be a good fit in Baltimore. If he can keep his damn mouth shut.....

[gunnar hendershow]

I personally want him to talk as much as he can so that a huge segment of our fanbase threatens to start rooting for another team and then gets called out on their shit.

Nevermind, the dream is dead: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20178045/baltimore-ravens-add-arena-league-qb-david-olson

[Pooker]

At this point, I don't think Kaepernick will ever be signed.

[VerbalPuke]

It's shitty. I really hate the apologist bullshit of "Well he sucks thats why he isn't getting signed". 

No, he fucking doesn't. Look, dude isn't an elite QB. But I'd wager he's a better 2 than 32 other guys, and probably better than a few starters. His numbers were solid last season. 

I'd take him backing up Stafford.

[Pooker]

I would still take him starting for the Niners over whatever crap we have now.

[livid]

I actually like Hoyer a lot as a stop gap option and I'm intrigued by Beathard but it's obvious they're planning for next year's QB class and/or going after Cousins. 

I like Kaepernick and think he can be a starter in the NFL but I do think the best thing for him was to get out of San Francisco and away from the expectations people once had for him there. But that was also because I assumed he'd find a job elsewhere. It's absolutely ridiculous that he doesn't have a job.

SF was a dumpster fire because of Baalke. It had nothing to do with Kaepernick. Everything else played a role on him mentally I'm sure, and getting out of that situation was great. Unfortunately for him at this point if he gets signed the media presence will be suffocating. There will be protests. Even at the slightest rumor of him signing here there were people I somehow haven't unfriended on Facebook yet who were screaming about how they'd have to find a new team. If he were a bonafide starter he'd be fine, but since he's not it's just a situation where teams are very reluctant to take bring him in.

He would be such an ideal backup for a team with a solid starting QB though. He can play behind them, and offer a huge chance of pace should that starter go down. A big part of his early success is all the scouting was done for Alex Smith at QB. When he came in as starter it took awhile for teams to adjust and figure out all his tendencies.

Seattle was the perfect place for Kap and they went with Austin Davis, so...
