Roger Goodell on Kaepernick: NFL Teams Don't Ask Me for Advice on Football Hires

Colin Kaepernick led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl and NFC Championship Game in back-to-back years during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. He also threw for 16 touchdowns to just four interceptions in 2016.

Yet he has remained unsigned ever since.

When pressed for an opinion about that reality, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell left it up to individual teams to sign the signal-caller who made so many headlines for his decision to protest police brutality and systemic racism by kneeling during the national anthem.

Peter King interviewed Goodell for his "Football Morning in America" column and asked the commissioner if he is "dispirited" that Kaepernick is still unsigned.
