Tom is very effective downfield but does he have an arm like Stafford or Wentz? No way. Brees is another guy with a Avg arm strength but he gets it done as well.

Here is a FA signing prediction for you: Roger Goodell will influence a team owner to sign Colin Kaepernick in order to get out of CK's collusion lawsuit which the NFL would probably lose in a jury trial. It's not going to fool many people but it might work in conjunction with a settlement.

Re: Around the NFL: Free agent signings 2018
 

I think CK winning a collusion suit would be a real long shot

The ravens were going to sign him till his girl friend posted a django unchained photo shop with the owner

Good for him. I hope he gets to remain the starter. I think winning the Superbowl the way he did should keep him starter and serves not to rush the other guy back to soon. But in impatient world of the NFL I suspect that will not happen

I've learned not to think "can't win" when talking about a civil trail with a [U]jury[/U] and a [U]lower burden of proof[/U] than a criminal trial. I don't think the NFL would want to take the [U]risk[/U] of losing a collusion lawsuit. So, yes, he'll be signed by some team and receive a settlement with no blame attached from the NFL.

I'd say, even without the risk of losing the trial, it'd be a pretty smart thing to do from a PR standpoint, wouldn't it?
It would end the talk about this collusion thing (which I have absolutely no idea if it's true or not, and, I'll admit, [U]not a lot of interest in[/U], not being American...).
Or do you think there'd be more people mad that the original kneeler was back in the league?

EDIT: again, not being American, but aware of how sensitive this issue can be, I want to stress how [B]unfamiliar[/B] and [B]distant[/B] from this story I am.

My experience has been more directed verdicts and motions for summary judgement in federal court. Settlement talks should come well after all the motions are filed to see if the matter can legally even be presented to a jury.

You're right thought, can't is stupid to use but his chances would have to be less than 10% if they are even that.

Personally, I think the profusion of poor backup QB's league-wide permeates this issue with the odor of collusion, whether or not collusion can be proven in court. Certainly, the NFL would like to make this entire controversy go away, so I think they'll try to resolve their dispute with CK in some way.

Of course, it won't work. The NFL is in a no-win situation from a public relations standpoint. Whatever happens, some segment of the U.S. population is going to continue to be pissed off about it and that will adversely affect the NFL.

I think Wentz will be the starter as soon as he is healthy. Keeping him under contract, gives the Iggles the ability to take their time in bringing back Wentz.

Re: Around the NFL: Free agent signings 2018
 

What do we think is Johnathan Hankins's play at this point?

I could see him antsy to get himself signed before the draft because after the draft a few teams might bow out of the Hankins bidding process if they feel like they solved DT in the draft.

On the other hand, he could remain confident that coming out of the draft there will be at least one team who will feel dissatisfied with their DT situation and may be willing to pay more.

I'm not dying over trying to obtain him one way or the other, but he's one of the last quality free agents remaining, really it's him and Dez. Wondering what you guys would do in his shoes. Get with a team now before the draft or wait and hope a team comes crawling to you with a serious post-draft need?
