Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has not played in the NFL since the 2016 season, worked out with the Raiders this week at their OTAs in Las Vegas.
Pro Football Talk is now stating that two other teams were also interested in Kaepernick.
Kaepernick has not received an opportunity in nearly six seasons after a 2016 season that was filled with on-field protests surrounding various social justice issues. Kaepernick alleged that he was “blackballed” and that league owners colluded against signing him as a free agent because of his social justice stances. He eventually opened up a civil suit against the NFL to address the issue, and the league settled with Kaepernick in 2019.
He went just 1-10 in 2016 and parted ways with the team the following year.
Kaepernick led the 49ers to the Super Bowl after emerging as the team’s starter in the 2012 season. Over parts of six seasons with the 49ers, Kaepernick completed 59.8% of his passes for 12,271 yards and 72 touchdowns to 30 interceptions.
His legs were also a weapon during his career as he has also rushed for 2,300 yards and 13 touchdowns over his six seasons.
