Shouldn't it say "former" edit

Coolin Rand Kaepernick (/ˈkæpərnɪk/ KAP-ər-nik;[1] born November 3, 1987) is an American civil rights activist and football quarterback who is a free agent" unless this was handled in a previous convo, shouldn't this say "Former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 5 seasons with the 49ers." It's been way past 2 years since he last played and seems like he is not coming back. MichaelFansz (talk) 02:52, 28 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Looks like "former" was removed in May, when he had a workout with the Raiders.[1] I think in the past, most said wait for at least a year with no activity looking for a job.—Bagumba (talk) 03:11, 28 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
It looks like if a civil rights activist does a couple of push ups a year ... he's working out. Maybe we should set the guidelines for 40 years old. What a joke. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:54, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hope he makes a decision in my lifetime. This 'workout' nonsense affects other players here also. What's wrong with three years being inactive and changing a player to former? Let them make a return and when they play we can change their status at that time. Want an example of friction: Marcell Dareus Bringingthewood (talk) 02:35, 4 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
And Jaelen Strong. Looks like poking the bear to me. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:55, 4 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
