Philadelphia Eagles actually considered Colin Kaepernick during QB search

It’s been a topic of discussion and in some cases a cause for extreme debate. Did the Philadelphia Eagles consider the possibility of adding Colin Kaepernick to the roster? Two backups, both Nate Sudfeld and Cody Kessler, went down in consecutive preseason games, and as every Eagles fan reconfirmed in their mind that sitting Carson Wentz was the right move, everyone was able to agree on one thing.

The Eagles had to sign a quarterback, but the question who was available?

As scary as the prospects of adding Brock Osweiler or Matt Cassel appeared to be on the surface, both seemed to be better options than the readdition of Sam Bradford or Mark Sanchez to the Eagles roster.
