Why Colin Kaepernick makes sense for the Seahawks
Before the Seattle Seahawks' 2016 regular-season finale, defensive end Michael Bennett and Colin Kaepernick met on the field at Levi's Stadium and had a lengthy conversation.
Bennett said afterwards that he was voicing support for Kaepernick and commended the quarterback on using his role as an athlete to try to promote social change. This was a common theme all season among leaders in Seattle's locker room.
In the 2013 playoffs, the Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC title game, and Kaepernick was pretty much public enemy No. 1 in Seattle. But plenty has changed since then. And Pete Carroll said Monday that the team is exploring the possibility of signing Kaepernick.
