Although the Seahawks chose to sign Austin Davis instead of Colin Kaepernick, Seattle general manager John Schneider had nothing but positive words for the free agent quarterback, according to Jeremy Bregman of NFL.com.
“He is committed to football, there’s no question about it,” Schneider said. “The thing that maybe is a misconception is he’s a really, really nice man and he has his thoughts, he has his plan and it’s one of those things where it’s right time, right fit and I’m sure he’s going to find it.”
Kaepernick was internally discussed as an option for the Dolphins before they signed Jay Cutler, and he’s also on the Ravens‘ radar while Joe Flacco deals with a back injury.
Here’s more from the NFC West:
- Prior to his release earlier this year, the 49ers were in discussions with Tramaine Brock about a new contract, Jason Cole of Bleacher Report tweets. However, the Niners will not circle back to him even after learning that the charges against him have been dropped.
- 49ers guard Joshua Garnett will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery and the team admits his Week 1 status is shaky. “Timeframe, I haven’t been given one yet,” Shanahan said (transcription via PFT). “I’m hoping that he has a chance for Week 1, but I know that’s going to be a battle.” That jibes with previous reports about Garnett’s timeline.
- The release of Jeremy Zuttah was a difficult decision, but coach Kyle Shanahan said it was made easier by the fact that Daniel Kilgore has established himself at center (Twitter link via Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com). Kilgore will likely serve as the team’s starting center now that Zuttah is out of the picture.
Ha ! “The decision to release Zuttah was a difficult 1 made easier by the fact that…..he sucked !” Got pushed back on EVERY play….spent more time in Ravens backfield than their running backs last season !
Yea, Kaps a real swell guy, since he blew up his football career, w/his “great” ability but mostly his foolish actions, maybe a career move is in order, something he “does” show promise in…..I believe Havana needs a mayor. Then there can truly be peace in the world for football fans, communists, n idiots…..good luck senor!
Do you guys post information-less Kaepernick threads just to draw traffic and farm hateful comments?
Stop it he disrespects the USA,I’m a vet and very tired of your slow news day fillers.
