\"ColinThe NFL has taken a battering to its reputation in the last 12 months due to players “taking a knee<\/em>” during the National Anthem as a sign of protesting police violence against black men. Colin Kaepernick<\/a> was the player who first started the protests and today finds himself unwanted amongst NFL franchises.<\/p>\n

Kaepernick has filed a lawsuit against the NFL alleging that NFL franchises have colluded to not hire him<\/strong> because he was a controversial player. The 30 year old quarterback is now a free agent who is eager to play in the NFL but there are no takers.<\/p>\n

The Denver Broncos are in need of a good quarterback after they pushed Paxton Lynch<\/strong> to number three and lifted Chad Kelly<\/strong> to number two to partner with Case Keenum<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The Broncos are open to hiring a veteran quarterback but their general manager John Elway<\/strong> is not willing to get Kaepernick on board.<\/p>\n

Elway stated that the Broncos has offered Kaepernick a contract in the past but the quarterback<\/a> turned them down. The Broncos reported held discussions with the San Francisco 49ers<\/strong> on two occasions in 2016 to secure the services of Kaepernick but they could not reach a mutual agreement. Kaepernick is reported to have visited Elway\u2019s house but the cut in salary from $11.9 million to $7 million was not an attractive proposition for the quarterback.<\/p>\n
