Months after the San Francisco 49ers cut ties with former star quarterback Colin Kaepernick, the much-criticized player may finally get another chance to play football. During the 2016-2017 season Kaepernick led a movement among professional and amateur athletes to sit out pre-game performances of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Kaepernick chose to do so to raise awareness to deep wounds in the African American community about racial bias and mistreatment by police.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Kaepernick is in Seattle for an audition with the Seattle Seahawks.

“The visit with free agent QB Colin Kaepernick & at least 1 other is today, source said. He flew in last night from the East Coast,” Rapoport wrote on Twitter.

In recent weeks, several NFL players have praised Kaepernick and publicly expressed hopes that he suits up in the NFL again.
“I wanted to tell him that I admire everything that he’s been doing. I gave him my number to reach out to say, ‘Hey, if there’s anything I can do to be a part, I’m here,'” Kenny Stills said recently.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees gave a similar endorsement.
“He is certainly good enough,” Brees said last week.

“I don’t think it’s a situation where he is being blackballed. I’m sure there are offers being made to him. It’s just a matter of him choosing the right opportunity.”
