Jerry said, “We aren’t in the QB business. We are looking for talent. It’s unfortunate you can’t zero in on the business at hand. That situation from the get-go had a lot more than football involved. We got the result of that dynamic.”

Jerry spoke those words in 2019, but they are applicable till now. The whole saga has continued to go on over the years. The only person that has suffered from it is Colin Kaepernick himself. The former 49ers quarterback has been out of the league since 2017.
