Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has received a $2 million offer. Unfortunately for Kaepernick, it’s not from an NFL team.
Kaepernick, who last played in the National Football League in 2016, began kneeling for the national anthem that year. He did not receive any contract offers from NFL teams after that. Kaepernick has had a few workouts and tryouts, but he remains out of football over the past decade.
Now, Fox News pundit Clay Travis is offering Kaepernick $2 million for a wide-ranging sitdown interview.
“Colin Kaepernick is doing every left wing show on the planet. Open invite @Kaepernick7 , I will donate $2 million to a charity we agree on if you will sit for a one-hour interview with me. One hour. No questions barred. No edits from us @SportNState,” he announced.
Kaepernick has yet to respond.
Travis likely has a lot of questions that he would like Kaepernick to answer, and at $2 million, it’s probably a somewhat enticing offer.
But, for now, the offer is going unnoticed.
Kaepernick remains interested in a comeback
Kaepernick has said that he would like to play in the NFL again. He’s been training for it, too.
“We’ll hit the ground running,” he told Men’s Health. “We do all of our training to make sure that we are prepared for that.”
The New York Giants have been a team mentioned.
“It starts with a workout (and quite possibly ends with one). There’s no reason not to give it a whirl. The anthem controversy has subsided. (Harbaugh and the Giants surely would want assurances that Kaepernick wouldn’t dust it off, if he ended up on the sideline before games),” Mike Florio wrote on Wednesday.
“The threshold question is how does Kaepernick look? And there’s only one way to find out. The Giants, who now face not having Jaxson Dart for up to the rest of the season, have plenty of reasons to give Kaepernick a chance to show them what he can do.”
