Multiple teams have been doing their homework on the quarterback, but those teams reportedly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballrumors.com\/2020\/06\/no-teams-have-reached-out-to-colin-kaepernick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have not reached out to Kap<\/a>&nbsp;directly.<\/p>\n<p>Garafolo&rsquo;s sources tell him that teams have been in communication with people close to Kaepernick, even if they haven&rsquo;t chatted with the QB or his agent. Garafolo&rsquo;s understanding is that they&rsquo;re first looking to do their research and gauge Kaepernick&rsquo;s interest in joining. If those teams are satisfied with what they find and confident that they can come to terms, they&rsquo;ll engage in contract talks.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that&rsquo;s not the typical order of operations for free agents, but Kaepernick is anything but the typical free agent. It&rsquo;s fair to wonder whether some teams are looking to keep their interest on the hush in order to avoid a PR backlash. Still, some NFL officials have been willing to go on the record in favor of Kaepernick. Recently, newly appointed Lions principal owner Sheila Ford Hamp&nbsp;said that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballrumors.com\/2020\/06\/lions-notes-covid-stafford-kaepernick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">she would authorize signing Kap<\/a>&nbsp;if her football people wanted him on the team.<\/p>\n<p>Kaep also found support from Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn, who said that he should be on every club&rsquo;s emergency workout list. Meanwhile, Seahawks head coach&nbsp;Pete Carroll recently&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballrumors.com\/2020\/06\/pete-carroll-regrets-not-signing-colin-kaepernick-in-2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">expressed regret<\/a>&nbsp;over not signing Kaepernick back in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Kaepernick, 33 in November, has not played since the 2016 season. But, based on what we&rsquo;ve been hearing lately, it sounds like he could be back on the field in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/K\/KaepCo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&#038;utm_source=direct&#038;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/K\/KaepCo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&#038;utm_source=direct&#038;utm_medium=linker-<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Zach Links<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Zach Links<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4222-logo.png\" alt=\"\">It looks like we might see Kap on an NFL field soon.&nbsp;Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports It&rsquo;s looking more and more likely that&nbsp;Colin Kaepernick&nbsp;will be &ldquo;back in the league soon,&rdquo;&nbsp;Mike Garafolo&nbsp;of NFL.com reports.
