Colin Kaepernick pens letter to Jets, requests to be signed to New York's practice squad​


The New York Jets had legitimate Super Bowl aspirations after acquiring four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers this offseason. However, the quarterback's 2023 campaign was ended after just four plays due to a torn Achilles. While head coach Robert Saleh was quick to hand the reigns to former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson, there was plenty of speculation concerning what the Jets could do to replace Rodgers under center. Some turned their attention to the retired Tom Brady, while others started perusing the short list of free agents. Another name brought up by some football fans was Colin Kaepernick, the former 49ers quarterback and civil rights activist who has been searching for another opportunity in the NFL for years now. He actually reached out to the Jets following Rodgers' injury, but was not on New York's radar.

The letter is dated 10 days after Rodgers suffered his injury in the season opener. Kaepernick says his training schedule has remained the same for six years, and that he is not done with football. He also lists Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, UCLA head coach Chip Kelly and Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis as references. Kaepernick's last snap in the NFL came on Jan. 1, 2017. He actually worked out for the Raiders in May of 2022, but nothing came of it. The same day this letter was released to the public, the Jets signed a veteran quarterback to their practice squad in Trevor Siemian, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals this preseason.

Colin Kaepernick appears to generate interest from pro football team​


Colin Kaepernick may have a shot at getting another chance in professional football — it just may not be in the NFL. Despite addressing a letter pleading with the New York Jets to add them to their practice squad, Kaepernick remained unsigned Thursday. He has not thrown a pass in the NFL since 2016. It is unclear whether the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback will entertain any interest from the CFL. The 35-year-old has been out of the league since his decision to kneel during the national anthem in 2016 created a firestorm around the league. Since then, he has compared the NFL Draft to a slave auction, called for the abolition of law enforcement and suggested the NFL has not taken meaningful steps to address social injustices. Kaepernick wrote that he wishes the best for Zach Wilson and is not writing to take his spot as the starter. While he added that he "would love the opportunity to fill [the back-up] spot," he primarily offered to lead the Jets' practice squad.

Subject: Cease and Desist - Disruptive Behavior


Dear Charles (@blackfoot NAP ; @C-40)

I am writing to address the persistent and disruptive activities that have become synonymous with your presence at TROLL KINGDOM. Your continuous posting of articles without any meaningful engagement, the incessant updating of threads with copied content, and the blatant use of "sock" accounts to manipulate post interactions, are detrimental to the community.

This letter serves as an explicit demand for the immediate cessation of these disruptive behaviors. TROLL KINGDOM is a space intended for substantive and meaningful discussions; your actions are not only counterproductive but actively detrimental to the community's atmosphere.

Your current online conduct reflects poorly on your own character and undermines the quality of interaction for genuine members seeking valuable discourse. It is evident that your approach deviates from the communal spirit TROLL KINGDOM strives to uphold.

I strongly urge you to reconsider your online conduct and recalibrate your approach to align with the ethos of TROLL KINGDOM. Failure to comply with this demand will leave me with no option but to escalate the matter further.

I trust that you will take this communication seriously and act promptly to rectify your online behavior.


Sincerely,
