Roger Goodell Says Colin Kaepernick Isn't Being Blackballed by NFL

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is still without a job in the NFL after opting out of his contract following the 2016 campaign, but commissioner Roger Goodell stressed he is not being blackballed.

"We've always invited Colin to come over," Goodell told CNBC's Squawk Box on Monday, via Berkeley Lovelace Jr. of CNBC. "He's welcome to come over and meet at any point and time. We had an open door on that. There was some meeting set up with the player's coalition, and they were invited by the player's coalition.
