Would the Detroit Lions sign Colin Kaepernick? Not right now, Jim Caldwell says

Detroit Free Press

Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell was unequivocal about his interest in free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

“No,” he said, “we have the guys that we want at this point in time.”

Those comments came moments before the Lions opened organized team activities practice to reporters for the first time this season. On the field, there was Matthew Stafford, a 5,000-yard throwing, one-time Pro Bowl, two-time playoff participant. Behind Stafford are two sixth-round draft pick investments: former Michigan Wolverine Jake Rudock is No. 2 and former Miami Hurricane Brad Kaaya is No.
