Colin Kaepernick rumors Raiders Derek Carr says he would get along great with former NFL quarterback

There is at least some steam in the locomotive that might po sibly see finally get another shot in the NFL. On May 25, the former quarterback participated in a workout for the and newly-installed head coach Josh McDaniels, as Garrett Bradbury Jersey well as new general manager Dave Ziegler, and it appeared to have went well -- based on multiple reports. As the calendar nears mid-June, there is still no deal inked, but franchise quarterback (who signed a three-year, $121.5 million contract extension in April) wouldn't mind seeing one materialize this summer."I don't want to speak for everybody in that kind of sense, I don't want someone mad at me for saying, 'I think it would be great,' -- but I know him and I would get along great," Carr said following the conclusion of the Raiders first minicamp practice, per . "I know we have in the past, and I think we would again. I think for the most part, I think he'd get along great with our guys."The familiarity between the two stems back to college, when the two suited up for the Western Athletic Conference before making their way to the profe sional ranks in 2011."I remember our days back then," Zach Davidson Jersey Carr added. "And just watching him and what he did in college and getting to know him and talking to him on the phone -- I've told you guys, I've loved my time with him. I think he's a great guy. He's been great to be around. "I've enjoyed being around him, talking with him, competing against him."Kaepernick dominated headlines in 2016 when he decided to take a knee during the national anthem in Mason Cole Jersey peaceful protest of social injustice and police brutality in America -- a decision that had nothing to do with the anthem or the flag itself.

In an impa sioned speech following the workout, Kaepernick challenged the NFL to embrace the fight for social injustice and to give him a chance at returning to football. Roughly three years later, he's still trying to land another opportunity on an NFL roster, and the Raiders are poised to make it happen, should they decide to be the outlier in the Kaepernick's ongoing fight to return to football. Their current roster of backups include Jarrett Stidham, Nick Mullens and undrafted rookie free agent Chase Garbers.If they do decide Kaepernick is worth the look, count Carr in as one who'd approve."... I've enjoyed my time around him, I love him," Carr said. "Him and I would get along Myles Dorn Jersey great."
