Colin Kaepernick's letter to the Jets asking to join their practice squad came to light Tuesday, offering to help the team following Aaron Rodgers' injury.

). Secondly, he believes that the Jets signing him to the practice squad would allow them to"look at where I'm at football wise" and not put"any competitive pressure on Zach Wilson."Kaepernick added that he believes a"confident" Zach Wilson"has the tools" to help the Jets reach the Super Bowl but added that he could be a"risk-free contingency plan" if that wasn't the case.

"I am sure of my ability to provide you with an elite QB option if, God forbid, QB1 goes down," Kaepernick wrote."However, I know that there may naturally be uncertainties from you and possibly others about my playing abilities. This plan, I believe, allows me to be of great service to the team as a practice squad QB, while also giving you a low-commitment chance to assess my capabilities to help in any other capacity you may see fit.

"Unlike many of the veteran QBs that have been named in the media, I've never retired or stopped training," Kaepernick wrote."My training schedule has remained the same for six years; Monday through Friday, 5 a.m.-8 a.m. training on the field and in the weight room."
