So this got me to thinking...assuming the link below is accurate, I think it's a bit simpler to understand why he may not have been signed. I still think there is some nefarious activity in the NFL with all of this said. It makes sense why he isn't going to be back with the Niners and the Browns are in full rebuild mode and have a good amount tied up in Osweiler (lol) and like what they have in Kizer and still have two backups that played last year and were decent. Jags and Titans are stuck (happily in Titans case) with their existing QB's, Houston likes Watson and Hopkins loves Savage, Chicago has a moderate ($16M I believe) amount invested in Glennon and upside in the Biscuit, Indy is a no brainer but why don't they spend any of that money on O-Line, Bucs, GB, Bengals all set at QB, the Jets make sense and they are actually the first team that comes to mind consistently. Pats, Raiders, Cowboys, and Panthers obv have QB's, Cards have a good amount invested in Palmer and view Stanton as the best backup in the league and Gabbert is there too, Steelers, Bills, and Vikes are all heavily invested in QB's, the Broncos have Simien who was decent and Lynch who they are high on and he's a project, Seahawks, Chiefs, Eagles, Lions, Skins, Giants, Chargers, Saints, Falcons, Rams, Ravens all have QB's that are franchise QB's or are too low in cap space for anything other than a veteran minimum to be a consideration. I skipped the Dolphins because they already went the Cutler route.
My reasoning for detailing all of that out is that there doesn't appear to be a slam dunk fit from a need standpoint where they would rather go Kaep over a young talent who can benefit from real-time experience or a team who needs a QB but cannot afford to sign Kaep because he'll be too pricey.
I'd love to hear thoughts on this.
