Colin Kaepernick wants another shot at the NFL. Quarterback last played in 2016 season

Colin Kaepernick is 36 and wants another shot at the NFL.

He's several years younger than New York Jets starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (40) and the same age that Matthew Stafford of the Rams, Kirk Cousins of the Atlanta Falcons and Russell Wilson of the Pittsburgh Steelers either are now or will be during the upcoming season.

Unlike those guys, however, Kaepernick has been away from the game for quite awhile.

It's been seven full seasons since the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback has taken a snap in an NFL game. During an interview with Sky Sports from the Paris Olympics, however, Kaepernick indicated that he still is keeping himself ready for an opportunity to resume his career.

Assuming any team would take him he'd just be a backup.

Would love to see him make a comeback, but time is not his friend. OAITW r.2.0 Aug 13 #2

He should have never been treated the way he was and that he had little to no support is the worst of it Deuxcents Aug 13 #3

Well good luck to him. I haven't quarterbacked in the NFL in 8 years either and I don't think I could do it. surfered Aug 13 #4

Have to believe that if any team were going to sign him they would have done so years ago. Xavier Breath Aug 14 #5

Wish the Patriots would take a flyer on him, though....

What white, firmly-in-the-1% owner is going to take a chance on him at this point? It's not fair certainly, but it's reality.
