Ryan Fitzpatrick played well for the Jets in 2015, but he took them as far as he could and ever will be able to. Thus, adding Kaepernick to the mix is surely something to consider, especially since he expressed a desire to join the team this winter.

The Redskins and Kirk Cousins are having a hard time getting on the same page. If that relationship completely unravels, Washington would be wise to make an effort to acquire Kaepernick.
