ESPN Reveals Which Teams Are Interested In Colin Kaepernick
ESPN reveals which teams are interested in Colin Kaepernick in a new report.
A week and a half ago, Kaepernick participated in a workout that some hoped would lead to him signing with an NFL team.
Initially the workout was organized by the league at the Atlanta Falcons’ stadium. The expectation was that 20+ teams would attend.
Kaepernick agreed to participate in this event, but at the last second decided to call an audible. Apparently his team and the league could not agree on an appropriate liability waiver.
As a result, Kaepernick moved the workout 60 miles in the other direction and had his own little gathering. Only seven or eight teams should up to this one, though.
In the week since Colin Kaepernick worked out for seven NFL teams at Charles R. Drew High School in Riverdale, Georgia, no teams have reached out to work him out, visit with him or sign him, per sources.https://t.co/IECNxlRs50

Coming out of Kaepernick’s workout, the big question was: will this generate any interest in him from teams?
Well, according to a new report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the answer is no.
“In the week since Colin Kaepernick worked out for seven NFL teams at Charles R. Drew High School in Riverdale, Georgia, no teams have reached out to work him out, visit with him or sign him,” Schefter reported.
“Kaepernick’s representatives sent video of their client’s workout to the 25 NFL teams that did not attend last Saturday, but that has not led to any interest, either,” Schefter continued.
Between the lack of interested expressed post-workout and the fact that the current NFL season is now past the halfway mark, it is difficult to see a scenario where Kaepernick gets signed.
Could it still happen? Of course.
Will it?
It is becoming increasingly unlikely.
