Titans snub led to Colin Kaepernick collusion claim

What’s the matter Colin (your name should be spelled Colon) can’t find a job? Ahh, too bad. Gee, what a shame. Imagine that, such a “talented” quarterback such as yourself and you can’t get an NFL job? Look at the bright side, there’s always Canadian football. If not, you can play arena football. Otherwise you can always become a sanitation engineer, maybe they’ll even let you drive the truck.

But hey, history is on your side. This is a very forgiving nation. Keep whining and I’m sure some NFL team will pull the trigger and give you a chance. Too bad Al Davis is no longer with us, because he’s one guy who would hire you, if for no other reason just to spite the establishment.

Then again, maybe you can patent your head as a mop. TGO

Being snubbed by the Titans apparently was the last straw for Colin Kaepernick.

 

The Tennessee Titans’ refusal to even consider quarterback Colin Kaepernick was ultimately the motivating factor behind his collusion claim, according to a report.

Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reported Sunday that, in Kaepernick’s eyes, the Titans declining to even work him out was the key moment that led him to file a collusion claim against the NFL. The Titans needed a quarterback after Marcus Mariota was hit with a hamstring injury, and Kaepernick, despite his mobility and experience, didn’t even get a look.

The Titans instead signed Brandon Weeden as their stopgap quarterback, with coach Mike Mularkey claiming that Kaepernick was simply not familiar enough with the team’s offense. Weeden has no connection to Mularkey or Titans offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie, but was considered more familiar than Kaepernick was, with the argument being that Mularkey’s offense is similar enough to the one Weeden played in under Scott Linehan in Dallas a few years back.
