Commissioner Roger Goodell Reveals NFL ‘Moved On’ From Colin Kaepernick (via NESN)
It appears Roger Goodell believes just that.
Kaepernick, who’s been a free agent since the close of the 2016 season, worked out in Atlanta, Ga. on Nov. 16 for several NFL teams. There was plenty of drama surrounding the day, though, as the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback moved the location shortly before it was set to begin,There reportedly was zero interest in Kaepernick, which really wasn’t a surprise considering there wasn’t a team with a dire need for a signal-caller.
Now Goodell is weighing in on what exactly went into the decision for the NFL to hold a workout. And it sounds as if he wasn’t too thrilled with Kaepernick’s decision to abruptly make changes. “It was about opportunity, a credible opportunity. … He chose not to take it, and I understand that and the league has moved on,” he said Wednesday, per NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
