Colin Kaepernick’s letter to Jets general manager Joe Douglas was released by rapper J. Cole on Tuesday.
In it, the former NFL quarterback listed multiple reasons as to why he thought he was a good fit to join New York’s practice squad following their loss of Aaron Rodgers to a torn Achilles in Week 1 of the 2023 season.
J. Cole writes in his Instagram post “I asked Colin @kaepernick7 if I could share this letter with the world. He was reluctant. My argument was that I believe the people and all organizations should know the truth about how hard he works and how much he still wants to play. And always has. In the end, he agreed to let me.”
“I wish the @nyjets organization luck. My boy @bas is a big ass fan so I saw the heartbreak of every Jets fan when Arod went down @richeisen Everyone from players, to coaches, to execs are feeling the pressure I’m sure. I hope y’all can turn it around, and I hope there’s a spot out there for my boy Kap. PEACE”
