If history is a clue, the obvious interest in Kaepernick does not mean that QB is actually a safe bet to return to. Since leaving San Francisco in 2017, when he sparked national controversy over protests on the pitch over police brutality, the former Super Bowl champion did not seem close to signing with a new team. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell openly encouraged clubs to sign the QB before the 2020 season, but only after years of conflict between Kaepernick and the league, including a poor NFL training session for the QB for interested audiences. groups. And that does not even include Kaepernick, the player who starred as a double threat early in his career, but largely came off the bench in his final seasons. If he came back, it would almost certainly be like competing for a No. 2 or No. 3 spot. With that said, here is a look at eight teams that might consider adding Kaepernick this off-season: Would Aaron Rodgers be okay with that? We would have guessed, considering that his new $ 150 million contract ensures that he can not be threatened by the center. Kaepernick will offer more experience than Jordan Love as a backup, and ground-loving coach Matt LaFleur could get creative in developing QB into special packages.

As crazy as a reunion sounds, Kaepernick’s mobility does not make him a bad choice as a potential Trey Lance insurer, especially considering that he would probably be about $ 25 million cheaper than the injured Jimmy Garropolo.

They need QB, simply and simply. Their big plan is probably in this year’s QB rookie class, but since they got a flyer at a Cam Newton reunion in 2021, why couldn’t they roll the dice with another age-old double threat? Their aversion to stealing the spotlight from young Jalen Hurts (especially after the abrupt clash with Carson Wentz) is likely to keep them out of the mix, but stylistically, the fit is there. Kaepernick is more in line with the Hurts’s skill set than current Gardner Minshew number 2, strictly because of his legs, and if the Eagles are really leaning on this heavy-handed approach, why wouldn’t they be interested in a situation reserve? Special Forces Coordinator Michael Clay was also on the staff with the 49ers during his stay there. One of the teams that attended his training in 2019 for NFL scouts, has Logan Woodside as the backup of Ryan Tannehill. They could easily add competition there, and Kaepernick’s legs would bode well for their heavy attack. They are said to be interested in the past, but most importantly, Lamar Jackson has only Tyler Huntley behind him in the depth chart and will come out of a full of injuries in 2021. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who relies on many QB runs, was of Kaepernick OC for four different seasons in San Francisco. They have easily been associated more strongly – and tangibly – with Kaepernick since his last days. On the one hand, this suggests that everyone is talking, taking no action when it comes to a possible addition. On the other hand, there has never been a better time to pick up a flyer and give it a shot to carry out their first attack. With the departure of Russell Wilson, only Drew Locke is a possible key here. Why not; If any group is open to adding weapons of any kind, it’s it. Andy Reid is not ashamed to offer opportunities for return stories, Patrick Mahomes would probably embrace the opportunity to work with him and Chad Henne could remain as the most conventional pocket backup. Receiver Daurice Fountain was recently spotted running for Kaepernick and it is not hard to imagine Eric Bieniemy using QB in some of Kansas City’s trick-play formations.
