Avast, mateys! Shawne Merriman, once a mighty NFL star, be claimin' that if Colin Kaepernick were to join Jim Harbaugh's crew at Chargers, 'twould be a scurvy slap in the face, by Davy Jones' locker!
Colin Kaepernick's potential return to the NFL was brought up in a humorous manner, using the language of a 17th-century pirate. The Los Angeles Chargers hired Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach, leading NFL insider Mike Florio to wonder if Kaepernick could join Harbaugh's coaching staff. Florio pointed to their history with the San Francisco 49ers and Kaepernick's appearance during the Wolverines' spring game in 2022. There were also reports suggesting that Harbaugh would make the move if he took the Minnesota Vikings job. However, former Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman disagreed, stating that it would be a bad decision and a slap in the face to others who have been patiently waiting for coaching opportunities. Kaepernick recently endorsed Harbaugh, calling him the coach to call when you want to compete for a championship. In 2020, Harbaugh expressed his support for Kaepernick, saying it was absurd that he did not have a job in the NFL. Kaepernick, who played for Harbaugh from 2011 to 2014, has stayed ready for a potential NFL return but it is unclear if he would want to become a coach. Since his last appearance in 2017, Kaepernick has been actively involved in social activism and has accused NFL owners of blackballing him. He has not seen substantial change in the league's addressing of social injustice.
