Dallasnews.com published copies of the police reports after he allegedly assaulted his supposed g/f and his subsequent testimony under oath.
Six games is more than warranted.
The guy got problems - like Lawrence Phillips/Greg Hardy problems. Even with all his talent The Cowboys will eventually run out of excuses for having this psychopath on their team.
I know very little about that situation, but I can get behind any amount of suspension for the guy and don't need anymore reason for it other than the fact that he is obnoxious.
I'm not trying to defend Elliot. At all. But they are only suspending him for 6 games and Kaep cannot get a contract at all.
So while a woman beater is ok a peaceful protestor isn't? bad look IMO.
What does the NFL have to do with Kaep not getting a contract? Srs question? I think he just kinda wants too much money and want to compete for a starting spot and kinda sucks. Either way, it's not like the NFL is telling teams not to sign him, are they?
From what I understand Kaep is not even being given the chance. He is essentially being blacklisted. he is better than some of the back up and even possibly starting QBs.
The teams can certainly do this, that's their prerogative. But when you look at that and then look at people like Elliot who engage in domestic violence being on teams...
The comparison looks bad IMO.
Idk, I think it's speak more about the fans/consumers than anything - they ultimately run things.
I also don't think Kaep is as good as you think he is, and reports are that he's seeking a contract around 6 million or so. That's a lot for a backup. He had success when a league-leading defense was pulling him along to big games and there was little tape on him. Then he went 1-10 as a starter. He's just not a QB teams want imo, he cannot surivive in the pocket.

Not on unfair point; but here are my thoughts on that:
-This hasn't been confirmed but apparently CK has had at least two franchises approach him about a back-up job and he rejected their offers. He says he's a starter.
-Option QB's generally make ****ty back-ups anyway. If you have a traditional QB as a starter (as most still are) you have to change everything around to accommodate your back-up if your starter gets hurt
-He's not that good to begin with. If CK was a good a QB as EE was a RB then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Marshawn Lynch doesn't stand for the National Anthem - is anyone talking about cutting him. Apparently most of the GM's in the league have decided the risk/headache in bringing on CK isn't worth the reward. I think that's a legitimate reason for not signing a guy.

The Ravens were reportedly ready to sign CK until his girlfriend took to twitter as well.

Oh yeah, I meant to read about that, I just heard they were racist and that's it.
I know as a Phins fan, I was curious but then when I remembered he wore a Fidel Castro shirt that meant a big old 'No' as there is a pretty big Cuban population in Miami and southern Florida area.
I thought maybe the Jags might as their QB situation is pretty bad and the NYJ's is also bad and they don't mind all the media drama that would come with it but then with NYC and first responders and just everything with that... well I still think he's just an injury away from being signed, assuming the price is right anyway.
