Besides, Kap was not that good. The lifespan of running QB's is not that long. Look at RG3, the Heisman winner, as good as he was in college, his skill set just didn't transfer to the pros.

Agree if he were a superstar like Cam Newton they would still keep him even if he made stupid PR blunders. But since he is no longer a superstar it is a lot easier for an owner to say they don't want anything to do with him.
I doubt that the knee was the problem. He was given a big contract which he turned down from San Francisco. They could not be seen as firing him because of the knee, that would alienate a large segment of the fan base. But there is a big difference between firing him and offering him a job. I think all the other owners don't want to bring that headache. He almost got a job offer till his girlfriend did that demeaning photoshop picture.
What owner in their right mind would hire a guy, pay him millions, just to be slandered like that. Hence, no more job offers. Skill wise he is as good as many back up QBs, but no one wants to pay someone millions to have them publicly insult them like that.
