The ESPN analyst mentions, “Now in the league, it won’t cost you money. You won’t have to answer to your sponsors, and you won’t have to answer to your fans if Colin Kaepernick gets a workout. And that’s why it’s okay. This has nothing to do with his skill, nothing to do with his viability or his or his ability to play on your team. This is simply a time when they feel it’s at least okay to bring him in. It’ll be good for PR to say we at least tried that things will have to change.”

Further, in the show, Clark also posited on the lost years if Colin Kaepernick has always had the talent. He also stated that these developments could be detrimental to the NFL.

How Colin Kaepernick could do wonders for Las Vegas Raiders

While the 5-year absence of Colin Kaepernick could be a hurdle in the path, he could do wonders as a backup role in Las Vegas. Interestingly, Kap is well versed with the Raiders’ offensive coordinator, Mick Lombardi. Both he and the QB spent time in the 49ers for 4 years. Moreover, owner Mark Davis came out in his support and called himself a Kaepernick believer.

Associates aside, Colin is in the buzz. If we go buy his workouts, he could be the next big deal after Marcus Mariota. The QB looks rather fresh and isn’t beaten up over any injuries. With that being said, Colin Kaepernick looks ready to rumble.
