Three teams have inquired about Colin Kaepernick, adviser says

An adviser to former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick said he has been contacted by three teams inquiring about Kaepernick since the free-agency period began in March.

Harry Edwards, a renowned sociologist and civil rights activist who has mentored Kaepernick, told USA Today Sports that the teams have asked him about Kaepernick's desire and ability to play.

"They've asked, 'Can he play? Does he want to play?'" Edwards said. "The last question I can't answer. The first question, absolutely. If Kaep makes up his mind, he wouldn't only go in and make a team, he'd put pressure on somebody to start.
