Dono, you made valid points and I appreciate you laying out where you’re coming from.
Here’s the reason I think Kaep will not win his case:
He opted out of his contract and left the 49ers in March of 2017 to become an unrestricted free agent.
He wasn’t cut.
He left on his own accord and thought someone would present an even better contract to him as a FA.
Now, if you ask me, do I believe GM’s around the league had this conversation:
“Hey, are you going to take a swing at Kaep?”
“Nope, my owner says don’t touch him with a 10 foot pole.”
I’d believe those conversations occurred.
But, is that collusion? Or is it each individual owner deciding he doesn’t need the baggage that would come along with him?
Do I think the commish sent out (not in writing of course) a league wide edict that said “don’t sign Kaep”?
Nope, I don’t.
