Roger Goodell: "I've encouraged" teams to sign Colin Kaepernick
The NFL season begins with Colin Kaepernick in the game, but not in the game.
The man added to the Madden NFL video game continues to not be in the NFL itself. Commissioner Roger Goodell has recently addressed Kaepernick’s ongoing absence from the league in a pair of conversations with NBC employees.
In an on-camera discussion between Goodell and Mike Tirico, Tirico asked Goodell what he’d say if an owner called and asked for advice on whether to sign Kaepernick.
“They usually don’t ask me about who they’re gonna sign,” Goodell said. “It starts with that. But that conversation has happened many times and I’ve encouraged them to do that. . . . We had a tryout where 26 clubs came to watch him try out last year and so that was the kind of effort to sort of say, ‘Listen, if you want to continue your career, here’s the opportunity.’ Those are decisions that each individual owner has to make, and their club, their coaches, their General Manager. And I’ve talked to a lot of our clubs about it. And so I’d encourage them, and I’d love to see him play again.”
