Colin Kaepernick writes letter to NY Jets offering to join while Aaron Rodgers says team needs to [View all]

‘grow up’

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has written a letter to the New York Jets offering his services to the struggling team.

“I am sure of my ability to provide you with an elite QB option if, God forbid, QB1 goes down,” Kaepernick wrote. “However, I know that there may naturally be uncertainties from you and possibly from others about my playing abilities.
