It’s awesome that rj even has bad nfl takes
He was in a lose-lose situation here. Either let the NFL control the narrative 100% or do things on your terms which does zero to counter any narrative that you are not a team player.
How do McVay and Goff go from elite offensive dudes to borderline special ed guys. This game should be like 31-7. The Rams are pathetic.
Which was the point.
Can Goodell and his office get anything right? He has become the master of the unforced error. This was a black eye for both the league and for Kaep. I think there was enough let bygones be bygones sentiment out there to give him another chance. I blame the league and his agent. How the hell did you not work out the arrangements for this thing ahead of time? Seems to me it was in both of their interests to stage a successful event if he wants to get back in. If Kaep and his agent weren't happy with the staging of the event, which they certainly had a right to be, either get the staging changed or object to the way it was set up ahead of time instead of waiting till Saturday, thereby creating a negative news event for both the league and Kaep. The league and Kaep would have been way better off doing and saying nothing and simply continuing their cold war.
Kaep has no interest in actually playing. This was just a PR circus in his attempt to set up another lawsuit.
The NFL set a trap for Kaep and he didn't take the bait. Here's a comparison of the NFL's workout waiver and the one from Kaepernick's legal team.

It's telling the people who are buying the "Kaep doesn't want to play" line.
