BREAKING: Colin Kaepernick Reportedly Agrees to Deal With Cowboys, Team Pushes Back

In a stunning twist that has sent shockwaves across the NFL, reports surfaced Tuesday that Colin Kaepernick had agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys. The catch? According to team sources, the Cowboys never actually signed off on such an agreement.

The bizarre development began when rumors leaked that Kaepernick, who has been out of the league since 2016, had reached terms with Dallas. The deal was reportedly worth $48 million over three seasons, a figure that would have placed the 36-year-old quarterback among the mid-tier starters in the NFL. Social media immediately erupted, with fans and analysts debating whether Jerry Jones had just pulled off one of the most surprising moves of the decade.

But the excitement was short-lived. Within hours, sources close to the Cowboys dismissed the report, saying the franchise was not interested in adding another high-priced quarterback to a roster already committed to Dak Prescott. “We already have an overpaid quarterback,” one executive reportedly said, doubling down on Dallas’ stance that they were not pursuing Kaepernick.

For Kaepernick, the rumors stirred up renewed conversation about his long absence from the league. A former Super Bowl starter with the San Francisco 49ers, his career has been defined as much by his on-field explosiveness as by his activism off it. He has consistently expressed his desire to return to the NFL, even holding private workouts in recent years to showcase his fitness and arm strength.

In a statement through his representatives, Kaepernick remained optimistic despite the Cowboys’ denial. “All I want is a real he said. “I’ve stayed ready, I’ve stayed working, and if the right team calls, I’ll be ready to go.”

While the Cowboys have dismissed the report, the speculation highlights the ongoing conversation around Kaepernick’s potential return. Could another quarterback-needy team be the one to finally take the chance?

For now, the saga adds another layer of intrigue to an already dramatic NFL offseason. Whether this was simply a misunderstanding, a negotiating ploy, or a genuine leak of discussions gone wrong, one thing is certain—Colin Kaepernick’s name is once again at the center of football’s biggest headlines.
