If Kaepernick had been as thoughtful about his protest as Brandon Marshall was his, he may very well be in a training camp right now, perhaps even for the Broncos. His teammates didn't take issue with how he played on the field and Kaepernick did donate millions of dollars to charities related to his political and social activism. But at a press conference he also wore a T-shirt that depicted cops as "pigs" and last year he made at least $9 million--no team is going to bring him in for close to that, even if he's worth it. So there's more to it than Kiszla said, but I agree that NFL owners have it in for him.

By the way, if your brand of being an American is being so thin-skinned that a person not standing for the National Anthem causes you to turn off a football game, then perhaps you don't know the values that this country was supposedly built on. And yes...though very flawed at reading defenses, Kaepernick would definitely be the best potential starter if the Broncos signed him.
