(DESPERATE!!) COLIN KAEPERNICK SENT NY JETS LETTER AFTER AARON INJURY… Asked To Be Signed To Practice Squad
Previously, there were reports that Kap expressed interest in joining the squad … but now we’re looking at the entire letter.
But, if you thought he was seeking the starting gig from the jump, as barren as the Jets QB room currently is, you’re mistaken.
Colin explained … “As much as I would love the opportunity to fill that [starting] spot, I’m writing you in hopes that you can imagine a much different approach involving me; I would be honored and extremely grateful for the opportunity to come in and lead the practice squad.”
“I would do this with the sole mission of getting your defense ready each week.”
It’s a lot of sacrifice for little money or glory … especially for a guy who was a star and even started a Super Bowl — like Kap.
Kaepernick went on to say, if things didn’t work with Zach Wilson (and let’s be honest, it ain’t working), he could be a backup plan (no pun intended) for the team.
“I believe a confident Zach Wilson has the tools to do this. However, in the event that this is not the case, I would love to offer you a risk-free contingency plan.”
“I am sure of my ability to provide you with an elite QB option if, God forbid, QB1 goes down.”
Despite the long layoff, CK’s adamant he’s never stopped training, and is raring and ready to go.
“Unlike many of the veteran QB’s that have been named in the media, I’ve never retired or stopped training.”
Despite the letter, the Jets have obviously not signed Kap up to this point.
