Increased Hopes That Colin Kaepernick Will Land With NFL Team
5 years agoThe National Football League isn't likely to put on a spectacle like they did last year in order to try and get free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick signed, according to a source, but there are increased hopes by some around the NFL that circumstances are more favorable for a team to sign him. Kaepernick famously created tons of controversy around the league and elsewhere by kneeling during the national anthem in 2016 in his final year with the 49ers, and he hasn't played in the NFL since. He led the Niners to a Super Bowl appearance and was a dynamic dual-threat QB in his prime, although the 32-year-old never threw for over 4,000 yards in a season and had a career-high 21 TD passes in 2013. If a team were to give Kap another shot, it would almost surely be as a backup signal-caller after so much time away.
