Denver Broncos’ linebacker Brandon Marshall claims former SF quarterback Colin Kaepernick hasn’t been picked up by any NFL team because he’s been blackballed by the NFL for kneeling during the National Anthem and starting a protest movement in the league.  Marshall said, “Quarterbacks are usually the face of the franchise. So, he’s probably being blackballed. Maybe part of it is owners don’t want their franchise tagged with that. But I still stand by what I said (on Twitter), that he’s the best quarterback in free agency. He’s better than all of those that got signed, the Matt Barkleys, the Nick Foleses. I think that’s a fair assessment, honestly.”
