Apparently Austin Davis signing with the Seattle Seahawks was not the breaking point for Colin Kaepernick’s puzzling unemployment.
This week, the New Orleans Saints saw the Seahawks’ nondescript quarterback signing and raised them Ryan Nassib, the 21st passer to sign a veteran deal this offseason.
This is the summer reality for Kaepernick and other QBs resigned to fates as backups or third-stringers: Barring injury or epiphany, teams aren’t eager to spend more than the vet minimum. Davis just signed a $775,000 deal, and Nassib might beat that total, if barely.
