3 reasons why the Cowboys should sign Colin Kaepernick

Colin Kaepernick hopes to return to the NFL this offseason, although it is somewhat problematic to find a realistic landing spot for the quarterback.

Following a successful workout with the Las Vegas Raiders, more NFL teams are believed to be open about the idea of signing the 34-year-old as a backup option at QB.

While the Cleveland Browns may be in need of a quarterback to step-in, should Deshaun Watson be suspended by the NFL for an extended period, there is one other wildcard destination that could be ideal for Kaepernick.

With a strong roster, the Dallas Cowboys are positioned to once again win the NFC East this 2022 NFL season. The division hasn't improved a whole lot compared to last season, and the Cowboys unit stands to benefit extensively from an experienced Micah Parsons.

However, their depth chart at the quarterback position is currently lacking in experience and quality, providing Kaepernick with an opportunity to be a vital addition to the Cowboys.

#1 – Kaepernick can be a better backup QB

Backups Ben DiNucci, Will Grier, and Cooper Rush aren't exactly options that inspire confidence in the team should the starting QB go down.

Prescott has been mostly reliable for the Cowboys over the years, but the team needs to be prepared for the worst to happen.

None of the three mentioned names would have the quality of strength or personality to lead the Dallas Cowboys deep into the playoffs if Prescott went down with an injury at some point during the 2022 season.

Kaepernick, on the other hand, might just have the body of work to do this. The former San Francisco 49er has as much NFL experience as any other available free-agent quarterback.

Currently, the Cowboys’ backups have collectively thrown 145 passes in the NFL. Kaepernick threw more than that in every single season he was a starter in the NFL. If that isn’t an improvement on experience, then it’s difficult to suggest what is.
