Only the Las Vegas Raiders know whether Colin Kaepernick is still good enough to play quarterback in the NFL. Kaepernick tried out for the Raiders on Wednesday. It was his first legit tryout in years. He hasn’t appeared in a game since the 2016 season, when he started 11 games for a two-win San Francisco team. He was cut in early 2017 and hasn’t garnered much interest since, at least some of it because of his decision to kneel during the playing of the national anthem that season. Is he, at… Source link

Colin Kaepernick is conducting his first workout with an NFL team since 2017, taking the field for the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday, two sources close to the former NFL quarterback told Yahoo Sports. The move comes one month after Raiders owner Mark Davis expressed a willingness to bring Kaepernick in for a look, despite the quarterback not having played in the league since the 2016 season. “I believe in Colin Kaepernick,” Davis told NBC Sports Bay Area last month. “He deserves every… Source link

Mark Davis says that he would welcome Colin Kaepernick to the Las Vegas Raiders “with open arms.” Meanwhile, the Raiders have Nick Mullens and Garrett Gilbert backing up quarterback Derek Carr. The Raiders owner spoke about Kaepernick during an episode “Race in America: A Candid Conversation,” an NBC Sports production that touts itself as “hosting raw discussions with athletes, politicians, musicians and influencers on the fight for racial equality in America.” He made his comments on an… Source link

It’s been years since Colin Kaepernick sat down for an on-the-record interview about the NFL, and it was something of a coup for the “I Am Athlete” show to get him recently after Kaepernick was in the Miami area for a workout. He sat down with hosts Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, Adam “Pacman” Jones and Brandon Marshall for a brief talk that packed quite a bit of punch, especially when it comes to Kaepernick disputing many of the lies that have been spread about him. Kaepernick has been traveling… Source link

Pete Carroll still needs a quarterback, but talks with Colin Kaepernick to fill that vacancy in Seattle have apparently stalled. The Seahawks coach said Tuesday from the NFL’s annual meetings in Florida that, even though Kaepernick reached out to him about trying out for the team, their “conversations have not progressed.” “I’ve watched a bunch of his workouts … to kind of keep me up with what’s going on,” Carroll said, via USA Today. “He’s really working hard. He’s all… Source link

Colin Kaepernick has still got it. At least, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett says so. Lockett and his brother worked out with the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback on Monday, and it sounds like it went incredibly well. “Yessir!! That man Kap is ready!!” Lockett tweeted on Monday night. Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL since the 2016 season, when he first started taking a knee during the national anthem to protest social inequality issues in the United States. That form… Source link

Colin Kaepernick, it seems, is still ready for another shot in the NFL. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback shared a video on social media of him working out on a field on Thursday. The post is the first of its kind in a while from Kaepernick, who has essentially been backballed by the league after he first started taking a knee during the national anthem in protest. Clearly, Kaepernick still hasn’t given up on a return to the league. Kaepernick, 34, hasn’t played in the NFL since… Source link

For roughly 16 months, Colin Kaepernick’s legal team at Geragos & Geragos went toe to toe with the NFL in a grievance process that remains completely shrouded to this day. Discovery was performed. High-ranking depositions were recorded. Arbitration hearings were convened. Finally, it ended in a settlement agreement in February of 2019. Three years later, everything dug up in that process remains locked away under a confidentiality agreement struck between the league and Kaepernick. Few… Source link
