A month after resolving his collusion grievance against the NFL, Colin Kaepernick may have found his best chance at returning to the league yet -- at least in theory, Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports reports.
According to CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La theCanfora, the former San Francisco 49ers star is interested in filling Miami Dolphins' vacant quarterback job following the team's trade of Ryan Tannehill on Friday.
"He's training hard and ready to play," a source close to Kaepernick told La Canfora.
The former Niners starter, who led San Francisco to Super Bowl XLVII, has not taken a snap in the NFL since the 2016 season, when he first began kneeling during pre-game national anthems in protest of police brutality and racial injustice.
After dealing Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans on Friday, the Dolphins have just Jake Rudock and Luke Falk on their depth chart. It remains to be seen whether they would have any interest in a veteran, however, even after reportedly attempting to land New Orleans Saints backup Teddy Bridgewater. It was reported earlier this offseason that Miami intends to take an "organic tanking" approach to the 2019 season.
