The Arizona Cardinals believe they have their quarterback of the future in rookie Kyler Murray. That doesn’t mean they won’t look to improve at the position.
Controversial quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has not played since 2016, has a workout for NFL teams this Saturday, will have at least 11 teams present to see him and speak with him.
According to a communication sent out by the league via social media, the Cardinals will be among those teams confirmed to attend in Atlanta.

The Cardinals are very familiar with Kaepernick, who played his entire career for the San Francisco 49ers.
In 2013 and 2014, he threw for more than 3,000 yards each season and had over 500 rushing yards. He had 40 touchdown passes and 18 interceptions.
His play declined in 2015 and he was benched. He played well in 2016 but the 49ers were 1-10 in his starts. He had 16 touchdown passes and four interceptions.
Kaepernick drew the ire of many when he began to kneel for the national anthem in protest of social issues in the United States, particularly the treatment of Black Americans by the police.
The Cardinals are set at quarterback with Kyler Murray as a starter, but backup Brett Hundley is on only a one-year contract.
