Secondly, he believes that the Jets signing him to the practice squad would allow them to"look at where I'm at football wise" and not put"any competitive pressure on Zach Wilson."Kaepernick added that he believes a"confident" Zach Wilson"has the tools" to help the Jets reach the Super Bowl but added that he could be a"risk-free contingency plan" if that wasn't the case.

"Unlike many of the veteran QBs that have been named in the media, I've never retired or stopped training," Kaepernick wrote."My training schedule has remained the same for six years; Monday through Friday, 5 a.m.-8 a.m. training on the field and in the weight room."
