Colin Kaepernick has been working out over the last few weeks in hopes of making a return to the NFL, and he said Wednesday he’s had "conversations" with Seattle Seahawks brass about a tryout.
Kaepernick worked out with Seahawks wide receiver Aaron Fuller this week and last week with wide receiver Tyler Lockett. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who once led the team to a Super Bowl, told reporters he talked with coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider.

"Still waiting for that chance. Still hopeful," he said, via The Seattle Times. "There’s been a lot of conversation around it. Again, we’ve had conversations with Pete and John previously. As Pete mentioned, we have spoken recently and (I’m) still hoping that door is open and get a chance to walk through it."
He’s posted videos of his workouts on social media. He’s insisted he hasn’t lost a beat even though he’s 34 years old and hasn’t played in the NFL since the 2016 season. He just needs a chance.
"The best way to tell is to bring me in for a workout," he said. "We have no expectations of what teams will do. But we just want the opportunity to walk in the door and show them what I can do, and I think my talent, my skill set, will speak for itself."
