The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who has been out of the NFL since 2016, reached out to the Jets with an offer amid the team's quarterback woes.
Seven years after he last took an NFL snap, Colin Kaepernick believes he can still help a team in need of a quarterback — even if it means playing on the practice squad.
"I would be honored and extremely grateful for the opportunity to come in and lead the practice squad," Kaepernick wrote. I would do this with the sole mission of getting your defense ready each week." Kaepernick's letter comes as Rodgers' replacement, Zach Wilson, has struggled mightily in two straight losses for the Jets. The third-year quarterback and former No. 2 overall draft pick ranks last in the league with a 57.0 passer rating this season.
