Yesterday, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick worked out for the Las Vegas Raiders. This was the first time he has visited with a team since meeting with the Seattle Seahawks in May 2017. On that occasion they passed on signing him.

Shannon Sharpe spoke about the Raiders giving Kaepernick a workout

[{ "selector": ".dgzdw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".laltu-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

"The Las Vegas Raiders have given him this opportunity to work out for them. But even the most skilled professional, if you take five seasons off from doing something, it's going to be very, very difficult to pick that task back up and be very good at it." [{ "selector": ".fzans-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 483px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

"It's going to take some time. This is not a three year project. He is going to need to pick up and be good immediately because they want him to pay dividends immediately if something were to happen to Derek Carr. I just think the odds are stacked against him."

If Kaepernick were to make the roster

[{ "selector": ".boska-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".wusnd-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

The Raiders' current quarterback room consists of Derek Carr, Nick Mullens, Jarrett Stidham and Chase Garbers. If Kaepernick were to make the roster, he would likely serve as the second or third-string quarterback.

It's going to be hard for Kaepernick

Like Sharpe mentioned above, it's going to be hard for Kaepernick to adjust to playing professionally after missing the last five plus years. Not to mention, the quarterback is 34 years old and isn't getting any younger.
