‘I’m Sick Of It’: Stephen A. Smith Gives Harsh Take on Colin Kaepernick’s Bid to Return to the NFL

The Colin Kaepernick comeback frenzy seems to have no closure. The 2022 Draft is near to kickoff, but the former 49ers QB hasn’t been able to prove himself applicable for any NFL franchise. This saga began at the beginning of the summer and it seems like there’s no end to it. Even Stephen A. Smith is tired of hearing Kaepernick’s stance for an NFL return.

While there has been chatter about certain teams, there is still a good chance that no franchise will choose to bring Colin into the camps. It’s unclear whether this is because he’s been out of the game for far too long or just because they don’t really want to cope with the ensuing community backlash.

Stephen A. Smith is done with the Colin Kaepernick drama

On ESPN’s “First Take,” Stephen A. Smith had the definitive verdict, saying he was “sick” of the chatter surrounding Colin Kaepernick, possibly returning to the league after being out since 2016.

Smith began his verdict with such an opening statement, many listeners felt. He mentions, “…utter nonsense. I’m sick of this, and I’ve had it.”

Smith continued, making it very plain that this has gotten on his nerves and that he is intending to wrap this up and get it over with. He believes the league banished Kaepernick, even though he didn’t violate any regulations. They targeted him unfairly and he never should have left the NFL in the very first place.

While Smith definitely recognized whatever Kaepernick has been through and accomplished, he has a problem with everything that transpired off from the court between 2016 and so now. The former 49ers quarterback reportedly voiced his desire to return to the league. He’s even open to taking on a backup role. The only problem persisting would be that he hasn’t played in the league for the last 5 years.

Since the offseason began, Colin has been practicing with NFL athletes in order to show his abilities. Colin underwent discussions with the Seattle Seahawks, but they reached no deal. Many believed that if Kaepernick continues working hard in the summer, he will come back to the NFL before the 2022 campaign. However, the offseason is nearing its end. Various organizations have begun their preseason workouts, and Kaepernick’s options have shrunk to a bare minimum.
