Colin Kaepernick will not give up, and he is not going away.
Dated Sept. 21, the letter has almost a sweetness to it, with Kaepernick respectfully and humbly asking Douglas for the opportunity, offering his thoughts on what the Jets could gain with the move.
"This also would allow you guys as an organization to take a real look at where I'm at football wise, in game-like situations against an elite defense, while also not putting any competitive pressure on Zach [Wilson]," Kaepernick said."I understand the importance of keeping him confident and focused as QB1, and I would only look to boost that confidence in any interactions that we may have.
Largely it was a long shot because the last time Kaepernick played in the league was the 2016 season, a year beforeChances are, this isn't the first time Kaepernick has written such a letter to a team looking for a quarterback, just the first one we've gotten a chance to read.
