Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick hasn’t given up on football yet.
The league has put together a workout for the 32-year-old in Atlanta on Saturday, and all 32 teams are invited to attend.
USA TODAY’s Nate Davis ranked the Titans’ potential interest in him at No. 6 overall among all NFL teams — ahead of the Oakland Raiders and behind the New Orleans Saints.
“What’s the plan for 2020? Who knows? What we do know is that neither Marcus Mariota nor Ryan Tannehill is under contract,” Davis wrote. “We also know that the Titans appear unlikely to land on a top-10 draft pick.”

Davis does make a solid point here.
Tannehill has been efficient, completing 97-of-136 passes for 1,161 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions since taking over in the third quarter of Week 6’s shutout loss to the Denver Broncos.
But neither Mariota nor Tannehill is guarunteed a spot on the roster next year, and it seems more reasonable to believe that both of them will be gone than that either of them will secure a significant extension after this season.
A lot remains up in the air, especially with such a strong 2020 NFL Draft class at the quarterback position.

Names like Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Jordan Love and Justin Herbert will be on the radar of many NFL teams and would probably provide a better option in the long-term for the Titans.
It will be interesting to see what the team does moving forward, but bringing on Kaepernick just doesn’t seem to be in their best interest.
