Well I should have said his continuing unemployment is proximately caused by collusion between NFL and State resulting from his speech.

He got paid for his work last year so that issue is moot...Though saying Kap quit is naive. The reality was that it he did not have a choice to stay with SF.

Kap had a contract guaranteed for several years to injury. SF came to him in 2016 and said, "renegotiate or get cut." They were already on the hook for 2016; but they would not let him play until he renegotiated, because a career ender would have cost SF for several years. The reneg was complete a few days before 10-16-16, he started on 10-16. The agreement was that he'd play the rest of 2016 with a provision that either SF and Kap could opt out in 2017.

SF notified him in 2017 that they were going to exercise their opt out and they agreed to let Kap exercise his opt out first.
