Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has not played in the NFL since the 2016 season, worked out with the Raiders this week at their OTAs in Las Vegas.
Kaepernick has not received an opportunity in nearly six seasons after an up-and-down last couple of campaigns on the field with the 49ers and his on-field protests surrounding various social justice issues.
Kaepernick alleged that he was “blackballed” and that league owners colluded against signing him as a free agent because of his social justice stances. He eventually opened up a civil suit against the NFL to address the issue, and the league settled with Kaepernick in 2019.
