The Facts: Another day, another effort to throw water on the notion that Kaepernick is being blackballed by the NFL. Via Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area, teams are concerned about his commitment to football and his vegan diet.
Diehards Line:
Earlier this week, a report emerged that Kaepernick wants $9 million or $10 million per year plus a chance to compete for the starting job. As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, the only problem with that report is that no one knows what Kaepernick wants because no one has expressed sufficient interest in him to even get to the point of talking terms. Now this. If teams have questions about Kaepernick’s attraction to football and/or his aversion to animal products, they can ask him. Given that no one has shown any interest in Kaepernick, chances are those discussions haven’t happened. In addition, Tom Brady "sticks to a vegan diet most of the year," albeit working in lean meats like chicken during the winter months. But you get the point.
