Seattle Seahawks Rumors: Pete Carroll Says Colin Kaepernick an Option as Backup QB

It’s been a quiet market for outspoken, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to this point, but that may soon be changing.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has said that Kaepernick, along with Robert Griffin III, are among the team’s backup QB options for the upcoming season.

With guys like Josh McCown and Blaine Gabbert being signed before Kaepernick, it has been hinted that a potential NFL collusion is in place to keep the kneeling QB out of the league.

This news from Seattle could be the first indication that there is a market for Kaepernick, but it may not be at the reported $9-10 million he had been asking for.
