@Seahawks If you sign cop hating, SJW Kaepernick, I will not watch another game nor will I purchase merchandise ever again. #NFL #Seahawks

Personally, I hope the #Seahawks don't sign Kaepernick. The $ could be better spent elsewhere and who needs major distractions from a backup

I guess this is the only way Kaepernick can win at Centurylink. #NFL #Seahawks

So, if the #Seahawks sign Kaep, there's a 100% chance Pete designs a package for him against the 49ers purely for troll reasons, yes?

Overheard during my am workout. "Should the #Seahawks sign #Kaepernick ?" "Oh yes. With the defense set they'll be ready for a great run!"

Really glad to see that @Kaepernick7 might get a chance with #Seahawks. Think he'd be an ideal backup to @DangeRussWilson

But the #Seahawks do this "lets hold hands & all lives matter" bit & Kaepernick actually draws attention to BLM & police brutality. Awkward?

What's #ColinKaepernick done in last 2 yrs to deserve a contract from any team, given his baggage? I wouldn't pay him. #NFL #Seahawks
