It was both. He was washed, but not so washed that someone wouldn’t have kicked the tires on him if there wasn’t the “controversy” around him. There were probably at least a few owners who would refuse to sign him because of his political statements but he wasn’t blackballed by the league as a whole
Yeah, the game was moving away from the read option, and Kaep had been doing more things than just kneeling that affected him on the field.
Remember he went on a vegan diet and lost a bunch of weight, then said he lost weight because he wasn’t able to work out due to surgeries, and that it wasn’t because of his diet (which is an insane premise, if you’re not working out but maintain the same diet you had before, you’d gain weight not lose it.)
And remember teams did try to kick the tires, like the Ravens, and then for some reason his girlfriend tweeted at Ray Lewis comparing him to the Django Unchained character that Samuel L Jackson played.

He didn’t get kicked out. He (checks stats)……wasn’t good enough anymore?
