Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll expressed regret on Thursday for the team not having signed quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2017 after he opted out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers.
Since then, the famous, one-starting signal-caller has yet to find a new NFL home.
That could all change, however, if Carroll’s information on the subject is indeed correct.
“After all of the time, the years that have passed, I never received a phone call, I never talked to another head coach about it, never talked to anybody about it until today,” Carroll told reporters Thursday during a video conference. “I got a phone call today. I’m not going to tell you who it was. I got a phone call today asking and inquiring about the situation. So somebody’s interested, you know, and we’ll see what happens with that.”
Carroll himself does not see a place for Kaepernick on the Seahawks squad in the immediate future with Russell Wilson the solid starter and Geno Smith a good fit for the backup position.
Hopefully, there truly is a club with a need and an interest.
