The rumour mill is in full flow tonight as word spreads that Colin Kaepernick is heading to the GFL.

Apparently Nike are somehow in on the deal, assumingly funding Kaeps wages, in a move that is hoped to raise the profile of the game in Europe.

Nike had the globally successful “Dream Crazy” ad campaign with Kaepernick as the posterboy earlier this season, so is this the next step?

The lucky team that Kaepernick is joining, if the rumours are to be believed, is the Marburg Mercenaries.

Marburg play in Germany’s top tier (GFL South) where they used to be an absolute powerhouse in the German game.
