Kaepernick wanted $20 Million for XFL

[fishwater99]

There is a reason no one wants to pay him millions to play football, he's just not that good of a QB...

He hasn't wanted to play football since he started this whole thing. Every time any team shows any interest in signing him, he throws up all kinds of ridiculous conditions and demands to avoid playing.

He's a brand moreso than a QB at this point.

Which is... weird.

Nike has given him the title of "SuperVictim" and is paying him well enough. Why would he play?

This isn't hard, folks. He's good enough QB to be on a roster, but he doesn't want to be. Him being some sort of martyr is his brand. Period. He's asking for money that he knows he won't get. As soon as he joins a team, part of his following will look at him as a sellout. He can't afford to do that. Not to mention, if he joins a team and completely tanks, he'll lose a pile of cred there as well. Playing ball again is a lose/lose proposition for him. His smartest move is to never play ball again.

They shoulda paid. They need all the pub they can get.

Oh good, I hadn’t seen enough posts on here about Kaepernick or people kneeling.

$20 mil can buy a whole lot of POSITIVE publicity which is what they want/need. They sign him they immediately lose the NFL fans that hate Kapaernick already
