AAF reaches out to Tebow and Kaepernick to play, Kaepernick wanted $20 mill

[Gugny]

If Kaepernick really said he'd want $20 million, I look at it like this ....

 

Say you're having a garage sale.  A rusted out 1997 Dodge Caravan pulls up and a guy wearing a pair of dirty Dickies and stained wifebeater walks through your driveway.

 

But in the garage, he notices a 2017 Harley Davidson Fat Bob and says, "How much for the Harley?"

 

Knowing you have no intention of selling it, you say, "$20 million and it's yours."

 

If - big if - Kaep said that, I'm certain it was taken out of context.

 

But (gasp) he knelt.  So he's a piece of garbage, right?

 

That guy is smarter than nearly every person who posts on this site on a regular basis.  I liked him before the kneeling. I liked him during the kneeling.  And I still like him.

I think he is better than Bortles who has a 20M tag!!!!

If it was 20m for the standard 3 year contract it’s not crazy 

 

How much are QBs making in that league?

[Doc Brown]

I thought everybody received a three year 250k non guaranteed contract in this league.  If they want to attract marginal NFL backups they're going to have to pay more than that.  It makes it more of a development league which is what the NFL wants.  We'll see what the XFL does.

...he's not worth an Earl Scheib paint job........SMH.....

As a Mets fan, I beg him to reconsider!

As a Mets fan I plan to go see him this summer in Syracuse.

Bingo.  They wont give him 20 mil cuz they are racist though?

[Rico]

Too bad for the AAF, he would’ve been ratings gold. Millions would have watched, especially to see him get the ***** kicked out of him.

[JMF2006]

Who is going to give him a 20 year contract?  ;)

I have no idea but I meant for a qb with his resume in the nfl 3 years 20m wouldn’t be a shock

 

if he wants 20 per year, well, yea... too much 

[mead107]

Don’t forget that he told Denver it was not enough money when they offered him a job.

I'm interested in how you know how smart he is or isn't? Have you ever talked to him? 

[machine gun kelly]

He has absolutely no common sense.  I’ll be happy when I don’t hear his name anymore.

I wonder if he loves attention more than he loves football? 

 

Let's be real, he's been out of football so long can he even still play?

He had a 4.0 in college and a 38 on the wonderlic score.  I guarantee that he is smarter than 90% of fans.  He donates to charities and actually contributes to society but ignorant fans can't get over him kneeling for an actual problem in this country.  Sad.

$20 million is hilarious. And people think he is being black balled? He's keeping himself out of the league if that's his asking price. I've suspected all along that he refused to be a backup and take a backup's sallary.

Do you really think any team has even approached him about playing?

Yeah I'm sure he'd rather contribute to society like he has been doing. I take this situation as a bunch of ignorant people erupting over someone with the balls to stand up or kneel in this case for people in this country that are just supposed to fall in line into a system that has set them up to fail.

It's not as big a topic, but I hope  this also means we don't have to hear about Tebow playing football anymore. He just had his chance too.

[thebandit27]

For those of you that wondered whether or not Kaep actually cared about football, well, there's your answer.

 

The reason he's not on an NFL roster is that he isn't about football anymore; he's 100% dedicated to his social issues now. There isn't an NFL coach in the world who wants a QB like that.

[Epstein's Mother]

This was a simple decision for Kaepernick.  Playing the victim is much easier than playing QB.  The pay isn't as good but your career is much longer as a victim.
