'One of the 32 teams really needs to step up' and give the onetime Super Bowl quarterback a chance to play, says one veteran agent.
"Any player that has ever come up against that [NFL] shield has lost," said a retired NFL veteran who asked for anonymity for fear of reprisal by the league."It's very sad. It's horrible the way the league treats former players. Guys that built that brand and built that game gave the league something that [it] can sell for a profit."
Mark Geragos, Kaepernick's attorney in the collusion grievance, couldn't be reached for comment, and Jeff Nalley, the quarterback's agent, didn't return requests for comment. But another high-profile football agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told NBC News that it would be in the NFL's best interest to have Kaepernick playing for an NFL team again.
Goodell said in his video that he plans to reach out to players and others going forward for a"better and more united NFL family." A league spokesman said in an email that Goodell regularly talks with current and former players and that Goodell has already"contacted a number of players" since the video posted.
Richard Sherman, a cornerback for the 49ers, told San Francisco Bay Area reporters on a video call last week that Kaepernick deserves a job in the NFL, but he said he doesn't make those decisions. The people who do are the ones who should provide transparency.
