Akiem Hicks speaks on Colin Kaepernick and Mike Glennon
Bears defensive lineman Akiem Hicks had some spicy words to say about Colin Kaepernick's unemployment world record. "We signed Mike Glennon", with four words he drew critique to the bust that was Mike.
The Bears signed Glennon to a three-year, $45 million contract with $18.5 million guaranteed in March 2017 when Kaepernick was a free agent. Glennon started four games before Mitchell Trubisky took over.
Glennon has been signed three more times since then, while Kaepernick hasn't garnered any attention at all besides a failed Raiders tryout where all he had to do was be good and he would get signed.
NFL teams have blackballed Kaepernick since he took a knee during the national anthem to protest racial inequality, Hicks said.
«All I will say is this: We saw it. We watched how it unfolded,» Hicks said. «And we see that he doesn't have a job now. This call isn't to advocate for Kaep getting a job, but he did sacrifice his position for where he is now. His career was ended because of it, in my opinion.»
Is Hicks in the right for suggesting Collin might have been a better choice than Glennon? Or is it just an oddball observation nobody asked for?
