It's been almost four years since Colin Kaepernick played a game in the NFL. While it seems that he will never return to the league, it was speculated that the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback could fit perfectly in the XFL.

However, that will not happen in the short or medium term, as confirmed by the XFL commissioner, Oliver Luck. The league's boss explained that his absence from the league is due to his salary requirements.

Colin Kaepernick Wanted 'Exorbitant' Salary To Play In XFL, Says Oliver Luck https://t.co/ajd6W7XkNF February 10, 2020

According to Luck, Kaepernick's salary requirements were too high for the league. "We have some very important salary restrictions, since we are a new league and we want to make sure we are responsible for financial matters."





"We talked to Kaepernick representative and the salary requirements that were addressed in that conversation were exorbitant and certainly beyond our reach."

With that argument, the opportunity for Kaepernick to play a professional football game is almost closed. The former San Francisco player must continue to wait for a chance that, at this point, may not arrive.
