Which NFL Team Will Sign Kap and get a backroom sweetheart deal for doing it?

[Sportsrmylife]

Roger "encouraging" teams to look to sign Kap.

You have to know that there is going to be some "benefit" this team is going to receive to offset the extra attention they are going to deal with.

Extra TV games would be something I can see happening.

What better for a Sunday Night or Monday Night game to have the team that signed Kap on display for all to talk about.

I would guess this would be a Sunday Night football thing due to the flexible scheduling aspect to this.

TV schedule already set, minus flex games later in the season, but they are usually for games important in the standings. The "benefit" the team that signs him will get is probably a better QB than their current backup, and the #1 selling Jersey in the NFL. This is all assuming Kaep actually wants to play, which we still don't know yet, but I hope he does.

The idea of does he want to play is interesting.

Teams could say they want to sign him. They offer him a contract and he states it's too low an offer.

He counters with something like he wants to be a top 20 paid QB.

Then we see exactly what he wanted all along.

I wonder if he gets a bigger contract from Nike the day he "signs" with a team.

I don't know if the guy can even play considering how much time he's missed, but imo, the Ravens would be a perfect fit, the Kap of old would seem like a perfect fit for the offense they run as his kill set is similar to Lamar Jackson's, and the Ravens are one of the most well run organizations in the league, with a highly respected coach

I think RG3 is better than Kaep, and plays a similar game. I really think RG3 is an NFL starter if he would be given a chance. At least on the par of a Tyrod Taylor. Definitely the right syle of team for Kaep, though. I still think Buff and Tenn are the best spots for him(or Cam) because of the style those teams play, and their garbage back ups. Here's the current odds at BetOnline for Kaep. They agree with you.

[FairWarning]

Can RG3 escape a rush? The mind may say yes, but those knees say no.

 

[Sportsrmylife]

what type of contract does a team need to offer Kap to say yes to?

You can probably predict that anything in the range of a backup salary is something he is going to say no too.

So what is an offer that if he says no to will clearly show that he was never serious about actually wanting to play football again but was more about the attention and his Nike money.

 

[winkyduck]

Someone brought this up but the team that makes the most sense

Steelers

As long as Ben is healthy they are fine. But when has Ben been healthy all season? WE saw what the backups were like. If the Steelers had even a semi-decent backup last season they probably make the playoffs. Makes sense since CK knows he would backup Ben but also know if (when) Ben gets hurt he will play.

Having said that I doubt he gets signed since the Steelers could sign someone else. IF Cam is healthy not a bad place to end up

 

[SlipperyPete]

Baltimore, Buffalo

Better than most still, but certainly not as well as pre injury RG3.

The longer Kaep is silent on stuff like this, the more likely that he really doesn't want to play. A simple twitter statement like, "I want back in" would go along way to showing if he serious or not.

Have you heard from him anywhere?

Isn't this "time" exactly what he was fighting against.

You would believe that he would be on CNN or ESPN talking and wanting change.

Yet you haven't heard a peep from him. You have to believe that there has been hundreds of interview requests sent out to him.

Yet silence.

Why?

He's tweeted and retweeted plenty since all this started, in support of what's happening. But about Football, or his own football future. Nada. All it would take is a simple statement from him to clarify. "I want back in", or "I'm retired"

 

[Sportsrmylife]

Point taken on him tweeting about this situation.

What he believes he deserves in terms of his contract and what the market is going to pay him are different universes.

Jamis Winston is 10x better than Kap right now and he signed a back up deal for $1,000,000/yr.

No way in hell Kap signs a deal like this. Well unless Nike has a booster deal that says if he is on an NFL roster his deal climbs to XXX/year due to the added exposure.

Agree. Jameis was smart enough, and young enough, to think about what would be best for his ultimate football future. He willingly sacrificed $$$, to sit under the learning tree of Sean and Brees.

 

[FairWarning]

It’s a better career move for Kap to play the martyr and let people still think he can play. He’s pulling in big Nike money.

I agree 100%.

This is an extremely rare case of a player putting his ego into his back pocket, putting money aside for the moment, with the understanding that there could be huge dollars in his future.

He is going to be a humbled back up QB who is going to be a sponge to learn from Sean Payton and Dree Brees. I can completely see Brees become like a father figure to Jameis teaching him everything he can about how to be a professional athlete and a quarterback (white guy mentoring black guy works perfectly in this environment).

Winston is then given the QB job after the saints realize that T. Hill is a circus pony with limited skills (he will get exposed badly when he has to think passed should I keep the ball or give it....answer he always just keeps it) and suddenly Crablegs becomes a 35td/11 int 4800 yrds QB.

He signs a mega deal with the Saints and lives happily ever after.

The best of both worlds

Seems to be his goal unless we're shown differently. He also made good money when he won his lawsuit against the NFL for blackballing him.

The NFL may be better off hiring him for community service, race relations, PR stuff. They would get a lot of positive feedback.

BINGO!

100% agree here and I actually think Kaep would take this job. Although if I am Kaep I say the only way I will take it is if you add 3 years to my pension for fucking me over like you did

 

[Sportsrmylife]

You guys are both 100% wrong.

Kap doesnt want to be responsible to get results.

He wants to get paid while yelling from his porch.

He would be exposed as a fraud like al sharpton and jessie jackson. Race is his currency right now.

Kap wants to tweet and collect checks from the comfort of his home.

 

[TonyMar]

He is a 'rag arm',...

nothing he can offer any team...Other than a distraction.

FWIW, Winston turned down a more lucrative contract to play in NO

An interesting notion, you could be onto something, it would be a great PR move by the league
