Colin Kaepernick wants another shot at the NFL. Quarterback last played in 2016 season
Colin Kaepernick is 36 and wants another shot at the NFL.
He's several years younger than New York Jets starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (40) and the same age that Matthew Stafford of the Rams, Kirk Cousins of the Atlanta Falcons and Russell Wilson of the Pittsburgh Steelers either are now or will be during the upcoming season.
Unlike those guys, however, Kaepernick has been away from the game for quite awhile.
It's been seven full seasons since the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback has taken a snap in an NFL game. During an interview with Sky Sports from the Paris Olympics, however, Kaepernick indicated that he still is keeping himself ready for an opportunity to resume his career.

Assuming any team would take him he'd just be a backup.
