Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)
I know you're (probably) half-joking but political ramifications aside even if someone wanted to sign him he hasn't played for two seasons going on three. He was only a part time player his last two seasons. Who knows what kind of shape he's in. It's one thing if you have an injury and you're out for the season because you're working out like a fiend to get back because you know the team is going to want you back - or in Peyton Manning's case - have a nice landing spot after being released. In Kaepernick's case, maybe he's been working out but he'll be 32 in November. Right now him not having a roster spot might not necessarily be about political backlash but more that no one wants to take a chance on a QB who hasn't played in over two years, wasn't that great when he was playing in his last couple of years and is on the wrong side of 30.
And fantasy owners are in disarray right now...
Was Roethlisberger a top 10/12 fantasy QB coming into the season?

Roethlisberger was reportedly contemplating retirement two years ago. I wonder if he strongly considers it in light of having to rehab to come back for next year.
