POLL Does the Colin Kaepernick get an offer from the AAF?

[UCFhonors]

Just curious. Figured you’d know since he has no affiliation whatsoever to UCF.

 

[jwolt92]

Hey dumbass, is the AAF now considered college football?

Is Colin Kaepernick considered much in terms of NCAA football or NFL?

I hope your computer gets AIDS

 

[corn train]

Their main goal should be gaining viewers right now.... so no

 

[Mangler]

he'd probable turn it down to keep his Martyr status...

AAF reached out to Kaepernick, Tebow to no avail

He did turn it down.

 

[Camfantasy]

Probably would be more successful than Blake Bortles.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Yeah right, Kaepernick has a financial interest to NOT play.

 

[NolePride]

I read he wanted 20 mil from the AAF

Did you read that hot off the press information from a link provided above?

Sometimes nothing has to be said to convey the exact same message that has already been provided.

Can San Diego sign him? Great running game but really need a QB.

I’m not sure about San Diego’s scholarship situation but I’m pretty Kaep is out of eligibility.

I don't see where the AAF requires college eligibility? (honest question, I've just seen broadcasts of a couple of games).

The closest thing I can see on it is

• Teams have 52 players on each roster, with some selected by a territorial draft.[24] The territory assigned to a team consists of at least five colleges plus designated professional teams, one Canadian Football League, and four NFL teams (players from colleges outside the AAF footprint being allocated based on their most recent professional team). Only one quarterback can be taken from their region.[25] A quarterbacks-only "Protect or Pick" draft was conducted in November 2018 in which teams may retain their allocated quarterback or select an unprotected quarterback from another team.[26]

So I'm not sure what his college eligibility has to do with this?

I’m making fun of the fact that they have a professional football thread in the college boards. I figured asking about the scholarship situation would be the tip off.

 

[tducey]

No, given today's news about the AAF I expect that league to fold faster than Superman on laundry day. (Old Superman joke there)

 

[blazer prophet]

My vote is he gets a contract in the Lingerie League.

 

[NolePride]

Orlando now has to spend 51% of their practice time in Georgia.

It was the only way they could get their players covered with
workman's comp insurance.

The State of Florida has exempted Pro athletes from workman's
comp laws. All the teams in Florida are associated with bigger leagues
and they have an Insurance Carrier that will foot the entire bill. The AAF doesn't have that kinda coverage for a carrier for the entire league. So they found some company in Georgia that will do it, but
they have to practice in Georgia 51% of the time to be eligible.

They'll stay in Jax, during the week and bus each day up to Kingsland, GA HS on the Fla-Ga Border for practice. ('bout 20 miles)

Of course he does and likely a pretty high offer. The AAF wants to be an alternative to the NFL or at least an offseason alternative. He would be the most famous player in the league. Like him or hate him people will watch. Whether they hope he will fail or hope he will succeed. People will watch.

He got an offer and is demanding to be paid more than whole teams. They have a strict $250k per player.

Ahhh I see. I did not realize they had a massively low ceiling salary cap. Then NO lol

It’s not meant to be an alternative to the NFL but more to get players a chance to get back into the NFL. If he really wanted a chance to go back to the NFL, that is his only option really. Other than that, he has been gone for over two years and he was declining rapidly before that. He needs to prove himself to still be capable of playing before any team would take a risk over shelling out money for that PR nightmare.
