The tl;dr is that Kaep's not playing because Goodell isn't doing enough arm-twisting behind the scenes to get him on a 53 somewhere.
But you can't expect Goodell to intervene, when doing that has only opened him up to more arm-twisting allegations as seen here: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/281 ... g-work-out
Goodell isn't going to punish a team that signs Kaep. In the right circumstance, they could all win here. And honestly, if this stops more editorializing like the above, it is best for all.
That fit isn't the Cards. It's more likely Detroit. The FO from Martha on down need a public relations spark. Their franchise QB is hurt, and now so is their backup. The fans know the season is lost but want a reason to watch anyway. If you go to prideofdetroit.com, you'll see lots of fans clamoring for this guy for that reason.
A $1.2M annual offer for 2019 would be more than fair. Everyone gets to look like heroes without angering the now desperate and desolate fans. They'd be on board as much as anyone.
