Colin Kaepernick just might be getting his shot to play in the NFL in 2020.

In 2017, the Seattle Seahawks had some discussions with free agent Colin Kaepernick, but never got all that close to signing him.

On Thursday, head coach Pete Carroll opened up about the Kaepernick situation and revealed some shocking news that an unknown team called him inquiring about the former 49ers QB.
