NFL team interested in Colin Kaepernick, Seahawks' Pete Carroll says

Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been linked to one team more than any other since he became a free agent in 2017.

That team won't be the first to sign Kaepernick since he opted out of his 49ers contract when San Francisco's new brain trust told him he'd otherwise be released. Its coach, however, said another team called him about Kaepernick for the first time Thursday.

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told reporters in a video conference call he's content with Geno Smith backing up Russell Wilson, but Carroll revealed another team called Thursday for information on Kaepernick for the first time since he visited with the Seahawks as a free agent three years ago.
