On top of that, Kaepernick has struggled the past two seasons as he completed just 59.1 percent of his passes with 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

Kaepernick will reportedly stand for the national anthem during the 2017 season.

The Jets are still looking for a quarterback, as Lee points out in his post. They're reportedly visiting with former Eagles QB Chase Daniel on Monday.
