Reps for NFL outcast Colin Kaepernick talked with the Alliance of American Football about joining the new league, but the upstart’s modest salaries may have turned off the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, according to outlets. AAF co-founder Bill Polian told The Athletic that league executive Charlie Ebersol spoke with Kaepernick’s advisers about signing up the civil rights activist. “I don’t know what transpired, but he’s obviously not playing,” Polian said. An unnamed source “with knowledge of the conversation” told The Associated Press that Kaepernick sought $20 million or more. That’s quite a jump from the non-guaranteed $225,000 over three years that AAF players reportedly pull down.
