Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been trying to get back into the league for many years and may have just found the perfect suitor. The New York Jets are at the top of Kaepernick’s list, and he even wrote them a letter to convince them to take a chance on him.
This seems like too good of an offer for the Jets to pass up. Famous rapper J Cole even released the letters to the public with Kaepernick’s permission, and this is what they read:
“Worst case scenario, you see what I have to offer and you’re not that impressed. best case scenario, you realize you have a real weapon at your disposal in the event you ever need to use it. In either of these scenarios, would be committed to getting your defense ready week in and week out, all season long, and I would wear that responsibility like a badge of honor."
Colin Kaepernick
The former 49ers quarterback that brought them to the Super Bowl Colin Kaepernick is trying to work his way back into the NFL. If the Jets took him up on his offer, it would only be a matter of time until he starts for them due to their terrible situation at the quarterback position.
In the six years he played, Kaepernick amounted to 12,271 passing yards and 72 touchdowns. These are decent stats, especially for a guy who is willing to join your practice squad to re-surge his career.
Zach Wilson
The Jets current starting quarterback Zach Wilson has been nothing but a disappointment in 2023. Wilson has only thrown for 467 yards and two touchdowns in three games, plummeting his QBR to just 26.7 which is 33rd in the NFL. Just for some emphasis, there are only 32 teams in the league. Yeah, it’s that bad for Zach Wilson and the Jets offense.
Aaron Rodgers was supposed to be the quarterback for New York this year, but went down with a torn Achilles in the Jets’ first drive of the season, sidelining him for the entire year. If the Jets want a shot at a postseason birth, they better act on this offer from Kaepernick fast before it’s too late.
