Colin Kaepernick: What does do now| Why did leave the nfl
Colin Rand Kaepernick (born November 3, 1987) is an American civil rights activist and American football quarterback who is a free agent. He played six seasons for the San Francisco 49ers in the National Football League (NFL). In 2016, he knelt during the national anthem at the beginning of NFL games in protest of police brutality and racial inequality in the United States.

In 2019, he founded Kaepernick Publishing, a publishing house that focuses on supporting books about racism in sports and culture around the world. He has also continued to look for work in the NFL. Most recently, in May 2022, he worked out for the Las Vegas Raiders, according to CBS Sports.
In 2017 he sued the NFL, accusing it of colluding to keep him out of the league because of his protest during the national anthem. The league and Kaepernick have settled, but he still has not taken the field for either team.

Kaepernick’s career came to a halt in 2016 when he decided to kneel during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial injustice. Since then, he has become an activist for social justice issues.
“Five, six days a week I still wake up at 4:30, I do my training. Yeah, that passion is still there and the ability is still there,” he told “CBS Mornings” in March.
It is unclear whether Douglas or the Jets responded to Kaepernick’s letter. On Tuesday, the Jets signed veteran quarterback Trevor Siemian to back up Wilson. After winning their first game against the Buffalo Bills, the Jets have lost two consecutive games; On Sunday they will host the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
