If I recall correctly Eric Reid still was employed through the 2021 season and he also knelt with Kaep.

Did it piss teams off yes? So did kneeling, and so did suing them. You are right if he was a top 5 or 10 QB he’d still be in the league. He wasn’t. But if you don’t think he was good enough to earn a spot on a roster in 2017 or 2018 (before the missed “workout” you keep hanging it on) then you are simply lying to yourself. The fact is if half the US population wasn’t pissed at him and the president of the United States wasn’t calling him a “son of a bitch” then Kap would have played. He became the face of “not knowing your place” in right wing politics and that’s why he didn’t play. He’d have been better off to beat a woman than to kneel, god knows Republicans wouldn’t have cared about that.
