Risk / reward comes into it for sure. No point in signing someone you think will bring bad publicity and/or divide the locker room if the on-field talent doesn't clearly justify the risk.
Pretty much what you said. A few teams have been interested and probably would have taken a flyer on him. But the risk on a now marginal player was just too great. They simply didn't feel the publicity or fan back lash was worth with. Guy probably just cost himself another year or two in the league.
He still had value as a backup to some teams. But the risk of him becoming a distraction offset any value he had left. It's a polarizing issue he's raised and many coaches don't want that division in their locker room. It's really not hard to understand.
he said he would love to live in Cuba, maybe Raul could start a league and he would get a job, but in cuba he probably would get about $500.00 a year, good riddance to a turd
This situation is not even remotely similar. Elway is not doing this on National TV in front of millions of people. It's essentially a private matter (Broncos stationary or not) that someone made public. It's really twisting reality to suggest support for someone is on the same plain as disrespecting Veterans/the National Anthem. If Kap wanted to advocate for something, he could do it on his own time without disrespecting any other group by kneeling during the National Anthem
Watch it kiddo! I resemble that remark.
Well he was on the worst roster in the league last year, so them winning 2 games was thanks to the Rams being the Rams. Kaepernick wasn't the problem last year with their W-L record... he played better than half of the starting QBs in the league.
Actually what he's doing is exactly what the flag stands for. When the people see something wrong, it is their responsibility to do something about it. Something like that in the Declaration of Independence.
