Colin Kaepernick hasn’t competed in the NFL since 2016, but he wants to come back. After five years away from the game, the activist/quarterback has resumed training in pursuit of a renewed effort to be recruited. Since then, the Seahawks have been the sole team to host him on a visit. It was only a meeting and not a drill. Which is what the free-agent quarterback had expected. However, Will Colin Kaepernick ever play in the NFL again?

Now that Seahawks QB1, Russell Wilson has safely landed in Denver with the Broncos, there is an open spot for introducing a new yet veteran quarterback. If Seattle wants to keep DK Metcalf, they have to come up with a viable option to make a Super Bowl run. It appears that Kaepernick has spotted that potential and intends to seize it.
