Over the years, Colin Kaepernick has tried to find a way back into the NFL as a quarterback.
And also over the years, Warren Sapp has tried to make it clear that he doesn’t think the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback will ever play again in the league.
Kaepernick was back in the news this week when it was reported that the NFL free-agent quarterback had his agent let the New York Jets to let them know he could step in for an injured Aaron Rodgers.
By all accounts, the Jets aren’t going to go down that road. They seem to be going all-in on Zach Wilson with the possibility of trading for an active backup or someone like Matt Ryan or Carson Wentz who played in the NFL last season.
Warren Sapp wants to make it known that Kaepernick should just take the hint at this point and let the dream go because no one is calling.
“We saw you play. It’s over, so let it go,” Sapp said during a recent appearance on Fearless. “When I was a free agent, Al Davis picked up the phone to call Rosenhaus,…That’s what happens when someone thinks you can play in this league, they call your representative.”

Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL since 2016 and he has claimed that he’s been blackballed since over his national anthem protest. Fair or not, it sure does seem like any chance he ever had of returning to the NFL has long since passed.
