NBA legend Magic Johnson has been a busy man ever since he became a minority owner of the Washington Commanders in the NFL. He became a part of Josh Harris’ ownership group and bought the team from Dan Snyder for a record $6.05 billion. The deal has already made quite a few heads turn, and the fans are expecting a turnaround, or should one say magic, from the 5-time NBA champion.
The Harris-Johnson partnership means the start of a new era for the Commanders, who last won the NFL way back in 1992. The team failed to make it to the playoffs last season as well. With Johnson already making it clear that he has invested in the NFL to win, the fans already have recommendations for the former Los Angeles Lakers legend.
Will Magic Johnson add Colin Kaepernick to the Commanders’ unit?

Colin Kaepernick, the former American football quarterback, is the recommended choice of NFL fans for the new Washington Commanders minority owner.
The 35-year-old has been out of action in the NFL for seven years now. Yet, there is no shortage of fans and professional players who admire and are in awe of his talent. The former San Francisco 49ers player, who last played for them in 2016, is doing everything in his power to let the league’s teams and owners know about his burning desire to stage a comeback in the NFL.

In the end, all Kaepernick can do is sweat it out in the park and keep himself fit. He has been
waiting for an opportunity for the last seven years. Yet no team has approached him to showcase his renewed enthusiasm and love for the game. Will his years of hard work repay any rewards, or has the NFL seen the last of the talented quarterback?ADVERTISEMENT
