Good luck to him, but I don't think he has a chance of winning his case.
As far as talent goes, he was an NFL quarterback who took his team to a Super Bowl. But that was 2012 and before he was injured. He was 2-6 in 2015 before being placed on IR and had shoulder surgery, then came back the following season and went 1-10. Then ad on to that his political protest and he's not a very attractive pick for any team.
Quarterbacks are usually leaders of the team. Most times they set the tone. NFL owners don't want to hire a leader that is toxic to either the locker room or the fan base. And they sure don't want to hire a quarterback who doesn't seem to have winning football games as their top priority. My opinion is that's why the owners/coaches don't want him - he appears to have lost a step, he'd likely be a distraction to the team, and wouldn't ad positively to the chemistry.
