Mike Freeman one of the most well connected NFL reporters out there gives up an update on Colin Kaepernick and Johnny Manziel. Here is what he had to say via Bleacher Report.
There is still no interest in Colin Kaepernick from NFL teams. Not a lick.
As always, I’ll caution that things can change in an instant, but it remains unlikely Kaepernick will be in a training camp, and if he isn’t in a training camp, it’s unlikely he’ll be signed by a team any time soon.
However, some personnel men remain fascinated with Manziel. They see that college tape and fall into the eternal trap of thinking they can fix him, and that’s what I’ve been told is going on in some front offices right now.
I’ve also been told it would not be stunning for a team to bring him in for a training camp look.
So to review…..
Some NFL personnel men are fascinated with a domestic, drug and alcohol abuser who never took playing in the NFL seriously and wasn’t good when he did play, but have zero interest in a proven QB who led a team to a Super Bowl and played fairly well on a horrific team.
Kaepernick stood up for black people’s rights in a way that made white supremacists uncomfortable and now he is being blackballed for it.
It is as simple as that.
