Will Colin Kaepernick finally have his moment?

After a nearly month-long campaign to find a home in the NFL, Colin Kaepernick found his ultimate opportunity. Kap worked out along with the Las Vegas Raiders. It was his chance to shine, and he took advantage of it.

The Raiders administration is still debating his NFL destiny with them. Although, their franchise QB has already put the seal over him. Derek Carr calls him a great addition to the franchise. Carr is no stranger to Kap because they had once competed in the Western Athletic Conference.

Josina Anderson reports that Colin Kaepernick to the Raiders is definitely on the table in the franchise. However, the situation looks like a 50-50 shot to him, so the report doesn’t give any conciseness. The franchise doesn’t need a QB1 but could use some help in the backup spot.
