Pete Carroll Says an NFL Team <br />Is Interested in Colin Kaepernick The Seattle Seahawks head coach <br />says he spoke to either another coach or <br />NFL general manager about the quarterback. Carroll did not elaborate, only <br />stating, "Someone is interested." Since George Floyd protests have embroiled <br />the U.S., questions concerning Kaepernick's <br />NFL status are rising. In 2016, the QB started kneeling <br />during the National Anthem to protest <br />police brutality and racial injustice. His actions garnered immense criticism from <br />those who believed he was "disrespecting the flag." The NFL then attempted to <br />ban kneeling in 2018, but the <br />rule never took hold. In a recent video, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell <br />said that the league's actions were wrong. Roger Goodell, via video Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since 2016 and <br />sued the league for colluding to keep him unemployed. In 2019, he agreed to a <br />settlement with the league <br />regarding the grievance.
