Colin Kaepernick has filed a grievance against the NFL for collusion, but his former boss doesn't agree with this argument.

"I don't believe that there's base to the claim that (Colin Kaepernick) is being blackballed," San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York said, per David Lombardi of The Athletic.

The former 49ers quarterback remains unemployed heading into Week 7 and has received little interest around the league.

Kaepernick opted out of his contract with San Francisco at the end of last season, but general manager John Lynch admitted the quarterback would have been cut anyway.
