Oliver Luck says XFL considered Colin Ka

The XFL gave an opportunity to join the reincarnation of Vince McMahon's league. At the end of New York Jets Hats the day, Kaepernick's salary requirements were too high for the league to give him a commitment.XFL commi sioner Oliver Luck explained to National Public Radio why Kaepernick wasn't playing in the league on its opening weekend, as the league wanted him to star in the reboot of XFL 2.0."We gave it some thought," Luck said to NPR, "We have some pretty significant salary restrictions, you know. We're a start-up league, Kevin Mawae Jersey so we want to make sure that we can be fiscally responsible and fiscally prudent. And the, you know, salary requirements that some folks, you know, shared with us were in our case exorbitant, so we, you know, couldn't go down that path.""We spoke with his representative, and the salary requirements that were broached in that conversation were exorbitant and certainly out of our range." for the Alliance of American Football last year, seeking $20 million or more (an average of $2 million per game). While it's unclear if that was his salary demand for the XFL, the league thought his asking price was too high and moved on.Would the Sheldrick Redwine Jersey XFL consider Kaepernick if he chose to play at a lower rate? Luck appeared noncommittal toward the former quarterback."I don't know," Luck said. "That was well over a year Isaiah Williams Jersey ago, so I don't know what kind of shape, you know, Colin is in. And, you know, we haven't followed that because obviously, again, we want the best players who are interested in playing in our league. That's, you know, pretty much a requisite for our job." Kaepernick pa sed on an opportunity to work out Trevon Wesco Jersey in front of 25 in November in an organized workout by the league, having his own workout an hour away from the facility (which is where the originally scheduled workout was to be held).resulted in the timing of the workout and the rules regarding the se sion. His camp had problems with the type of waiver the NFL requested and the NFL's alleged refusal to allow Kaepernick's camp to tape the workout, NFL New York Jets Jersey along with the NFL's alleged refusal to allow the media to record the se sion. At Kaepernick's public workout, many media members and fans gathered to watch Kaepernick work out for 40 minutesregarding his status.Of course this was after Kaepernick's salary demands for the AAF, which folded last April. Whether the XFL can afford Kaeperick or if Kaeperrnick would even entertain the league remains in question.
