The time is now for Colin Kaepernick to return to the NFL

Now is the time for the NFL to reclaim its manhood.

All it has to do is give Colin Kaepernick a job. Specifically, a quarterback job. Starter, back-up, practice squad, whatever.

Based on zero inside information, I predict that will happen this offseason. Too many teams are desperate for quarterbacks. The bottom of the barrel has been scraped until it squeaks, and Kaepernick, unlike most of the quarterbacks being hired off the street, can actually play.

That’s been the case for a while, so why would Kaepernick get a job now?

Because he has served his unofficial sentence for his non-crime. And because the league needs him, so it can show it is not afraid. And because the players believe he deserves a job.
