Sports Illustrated has obtained a copy of the waiver that representatives for Colin Kaepernick requested that the NFL use for the planned workout on Saturday at the Atlanta Falcons’ training facility. Kaepernick’s waiver is radically different from the waiver that the NFL requested he sign. The NFL’s waiver has been obtained by various media, including Sports Illustrated.
Breaking down Kaepernick’s waiver and his priorities
One key difference between the two waivers: length. Kaepernick’s waiver contains 268 words. The NFL’s waiver is 358% longer with 1,226 words. The stark contrast in length concerning the exact same two-hour event is emblematic of how dissimilarly both sides approached Saturday’s workout and how their assumptions clashed as well.
