Colin Kaepernick has inked a book deal worth just over $1 million with Random House imprint One World, Page Six has exclusively learned.

One World’s headed by book world superstar Chris Jackson, who also publishes Jay-Zand Ta-Nehisi Coates. He launched One World last year.

Ex-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Kaepernick launched the current movement of NFL players protesting during the national anthem, and he’s recently filed a controversial collusion grievance against league owners. He’s still looking for a job in the NFL after opting out of his 49ers contract earlier this year.

His campaign began last year, but the issue of NFL player protests has reached a new fever pitch after President Trump weighed in.

Page Six previously reported that Kaepernick had been seen “taking meetings with publishers in the New York offices of WME” to shop the planned book. He’s repped as an athlete by agent Carlos Fleming, and the book deal, we hear, went through Andy McNicol on the Hollywood agency lit department.

Reps for Kaepernick did not comment. One World didn’t get back to us.

Kaepernick's next career move is seen as a great play

 

[Cthulu]

It's his best next chance tbh. He sucked as a QB.

 

[Pikapool]

Let's see how he fucks this up then blames racism

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Such an opressed minority.

 

[AnOminous]

It's not like throwing a huge SJW triggered tantrum about a guy gets him millions of dollars for free or anything.

 

[Bassomatic]

Black parents ditch him
White people adopt him
Gets a dream job
Sucks at it
Book
???
Racism!

 

[Paralethal]

One million dollars isn't what it used to be.

 

[The_Truth]

I didn't know black people could read

It’s not like he’s going to write it. Ghostface Writa is doing it for him.

Beats what Tim Tebow got even though Tebow did nothing anyone reasonable would have even found offensive.

Offensive, no. Obnoxious, yes.

 

[Bassomatic]

I didn't know black people could read

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEET

 

[BoingBoingBoi]

because black athletes don't have their voices heard enough.

 

[AnOminous]

Offensive, no. Obnoxious, yes.

It was worthy of at most "lol christfag" not some hellstorm of triggered rage.

 

[El Porko Fako]

Beats what Tim Tebow got even though Tebow did nothing anyone reasonable would have even found offensive.

Well, there was this. Some people were pretty upset at this. It's more funny than offensive given how fucking bizarre it is.

 

[gumboman]

i blame wypipo, after ww2 all they have focused on is how to make utterly mediocre people successful.

 

[TiggerNits]

It was worthy of at most "lol christfag" not some hellstorm of triggered rage.

My issue with tebow was his terrible throwing motion, his bad decisions with the ball and that the jackass known as Josh McDaniels fucked over the Broncos future draft position by trading up to get him.

The praying thing was fine

 

[TowinKarz]

There's something amiss in the world when they guy who sucked at his sport basically said "You're right, maybe I should go play baseball"... and did. And gets virtually nothing.

While the guy who sucked at his sport and blamed the fans for it got a million bucks.

 

[NumberingYourState]

So people still care what the saggy dick-sucking-lipped fronigger thinks?

I think he should move to the middle of nowhere and live free of any access to modern tech.

 

[thismanlies]

I'd tell him to save his money because no industry in their right mind would hire a guy whose shenanigans cost his employer millions of dollars. But as long as Goodell is running the NFL, anything's possible.
