Philadelphia Eagles not ruling out idea of potentially signing Colin Kaepernick

The NFL has shifted its tone concerning Colin Kaepernick to the point where Commissioner Roger Goodell has now encouraged teams to sign him. But which team might be willing to actually follow through? Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson isn’t ruling out the idea.

On Wednesday morning, Pederson appeared on 94WIP’s Morning Show with Angelo Cataldi. He was asked about potentially signing Kaepernick and did not rule out the possibility.

“I think it’s something that if a team or even us were in a situation, we would look at all possibilities and scenarios,” Pederson said of Kaeperick. “The one thing you have to keep in mind is he hasn’t played in a couple years. That still doesn’t mean he couldn’t come in and be a backup and learn your system and do those things for you. It’s not out of the realm or possibility that could happen.”

The argument about Kaepernick having been out of the league doesn’t necessarily hold water. We’ve seen other backup quarterbacks take significant time away from the NFL only to come back and have no real issues.
