Colin Kaepernick is appealing directly to Jets general manager Joe Douglas to sign him to the team’s practice squad.
In his letter, Kaepernick said that he would “only look to boost” the confidence of Wilson in any interaction that he had with the former first-round pick.
He also wrote that in a perfect world, Wilson would find the confidence and rhythm to lead the Jets to a Super Bowl. “Worst case scenario, you see what I have to offer and you’re not that impressed,” he wrote. “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, I 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.
If the Jets were to consider Kaepernick’s offer, the decision to do so would likely be weighed with what he adds on the field along with the headlines it could generate away from it. Kaepernick has been widely outspoken about racial injustice and police brutality in the United States and made headlines for kneeling in protest during the national anthem when he was with the 49ers.
A team has not signed him since the 2016 season and he alleged that NFL owners were colluding to keep him out of the league.During the course of his career, Kaepernick completed 59.8 percent of his passes with 72 touchdowns and 30 interceptions, while adding 2,300 yards on the ground.
