- Former NFL quarterback-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick wrote the New York Jets following the loss of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, imploring them to give him a spot on the team’s practice squad.
- “I know the aspirations this season were, and still are, to win a championship, and so that Hall of Fame sized hole will need to be filled as best as possible to keep the team on a Super Bowl track,” the 35-year-old Kaepernick wrote.
- Kaepernick, whose final game in the NFL was on Jan. 1, 2017, has remained adamant about making a return to the league and capturing a Super Bowl championship. He came close in 2013 when he led the 49ers to the Super Bowl but lost to the Baltimore Ravens.
