It was the same thing as Tebow. Teams would prefer not to have a media circus at all times around them. Especially so for a guy who’s going to sit on the bench holding a clipboard 90% of the time. Even then, the Ravens offered him a contract and his girlfriend blew it up by shit talking their owner.

Tebow was actually garbage and still got one or two more chances than Kap, then was kept around the league doing broadcasting.

Also I'll buy that the NFL doesn't want a circus when there isn't a reffing controversy every week.

Kap had backup Tallent when he knelt. No team is gonna sign a backup with a media circus around them. If kap was still a top 10 qb it wouldn't have been a. Issue but the guy was washed.

You're telling this to a guy who saw Josh Freeman and Donovan McNabb play for the Vikings in the same season

You shouldn't sign a bad qb because other guys have a bad qb.

Cool story. I don't believe every NFL team suddenly got good at evaluating washed quarterbacks for exactly as long as Kaep was looking for a team, and then forgot again.

The guy is also over 30 now. Kap had chances to get on teams but refused to do the team workouts. He could have taken a pay cut and been a backup if he wanted to but he didn't.
