After quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick expressed his interest in stepping in as a potential replacement.
When asked if he was open to the idea, Kaepernick told a reporter, “I just need a shot.” His girlfriend, Nessa, is also advocating for him.
Nessa conveyed a straightforward message to the Jets via her Instagram story on Tuesday night, saying, “Always ready! Jets, what up!”
Regrettably for Kaepernick, it appears that the Jets are not actively pursuing him as a potential Rodgers replacement. According to NFL insider Josina Anderson, the team is seeking a quarterback who is familiar with the Jets’ system.
“The #Jets are not pursuing Colin Kaepernick to address their immediate need for QB depth. I’m told they’ll look to at least narrow down their options today. The current* mindset is to bring a QB in who fits the chemistry of Zach Wilson being the guy, & knows system &/or staff,” Anderson reported.
It seems that Kaepernick will have to continue waiting for his opportunity to return to the NFL.
