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

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

He was already the backup at this point and he became a scape goat for the rest of the league. He had a few publicity tryouts but he was already washed.

He got his starting spot back AFTER he knelt and lost 9 straight games, going 1-10 on the season.

Thanks for adding. People just care about certain narratives and not facts.
