Shawne Merriman said, “He [Brown] makes some valid points about Colin Kaepernick saying that, ‘Hey, you took money from the NFL, the settlement, the Nike commercials, all these things, and you know, trying to get back in, he don’t want to play football.’ Well, I think a lot of people think that way about all the other stuff that Colin Kaepernick has going on and the opportunities he has to get back into the NFL, and just hasn’t.”
