Former NFL quarterback-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick wrote the New York Jets following the loss of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, imploring them to give him a spot on the team's practice squad.

"I know the aspirations this season were, and still are, to win a championship, and so that Hall of Fame sized hole will need to be filled as best as possible to keep the team on a Super Bowl track," the 35-year-old Kaepernick wrote."As of right now, Zach Wilson is charged with that task, and I wish him and the rest of the team the best moving forward."

Following his request, Kaepernick lists a series of benefits his joining the practice squad would bring the Jets. If Wilson cannot meet the responsibilities incumbent upon him as Rodgers's replacement, Kaepernick provides a"risk-free contingency plan," Kaepernick wrote.
