Colin Kaepernick, who still wants to play in the NFL, has reportedly filed a grievance under the league’s collective bargaining agreement alleging the owners have colluded against him:
I am told that @Kaepernick7 has filed a grievance under the CBA for collusion against the owners. If accurate, this is huge.

Kaepernick has hired attorney Mark Geragos. Who has represented numerous high profile clients.

Well, that might not be the best way to get an owner to sign you, ‘eh? Especially since it was Kaepernick who opted out of his contract last year in the first place. From Bleacher Report:
Kaepernick opted out of his contract at the conclusion of last season with the expectation he would find a new landing spot but has not gotten a new deal and has received surprisingly little interest compared to how well he played last season. He finished the year with 16 touchdowns and only four interceptions in 12 games.
Kaepernick should sue whoever colluded with him and thought breaking his contract was a good idea, because people don’t think he will be successful:
No, it isn't at all, bud. I can file a grievance for collusion against the owners too. Same chance of success. https://t.co/2SAu5jxLhV

To win, need a smoking gun indicating concerted action. Teams will all say "We liked the guys we had." https://t.co/soaq8P5AmR

Without anything written or recorded, it's impossible to prove the owners colluded. It's more of a wink and a nod agreement. https://t.co/Ylrfgtsj4C

As for Kaepernick’s future, with Aaron Rogers out for Green Bay, there is an open spot. Could be a fit?
Colin Kaepernick. Birthplace: Milwaukee. Childhood hero: Brett Favre.
Green Bay Packers: Need a starting quarterback.
Discuss.
