Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned, and the reasons why he might still be out of a job are fast approaching the number of days he’s been out of said job. While there’s a vocal contingent that contends Kaepernick simply isn’t talented enough to play in the NFL any longer—a dubious assertion given his performance as recently as last season—one NFL owner has noted that there’s a bit more at work here than just a onetime Super Bowl quarterback looking for gainful employment.

The offseason seemed a bit strange … oh yes, Josh Normal hadn’t ramped up any feuds with some inflammatory comments. Norman, the Washington Redskins cornerback who has never shied away from controversial comments, took on two of his favorite enemies in a Bleacher Report story by Tyler Dunne, ripping New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham and Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant.
