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 isnt ruling out the idea.
On Wednesday morning, Pederson appeared on 94WIPs Morning Show with Angelo Cataldi. He was asked about potentially signing Kaepernick and did not rule out the possibility.
I think its 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 hasnt played in a couple years. That still doesnt mean he couldnt come in and be a backup and learn your system and do those things for you. Its not out of the realm or possibility that could happen.
The argument about Kaepernick having been out of the league doesnt necessarily hold water. Weve seen other backup quarterbacks take significant time away from the NFL only to come back and have no real issues.
