In my post yesterday about Colin Kaepernick’s upcoming NFL workout session, I confessed to not knowing the NFL well enough to opine on whether it makes sense for a particular team to sign Kaepernick. However, there’s one team I know very well — the Washington Redskins.
There is no good reason for the Redskins to sign Kaepernick. They have won just one game this season and, in an optimistic scenario, they might win three.
The rest of the season will be devoted to providing experience for their number one pick in the 2019 draft — quarterback Dwayne Haskins. He will be backed up by two veterans, the reasonably capable Case Keenum and the borderline competent Colt McCoy.
The contracts of Keenum and McCoy expire next year, but Washington has Alex Smith, who is presently injured, under contract through 2022. Smith is the quarterback whom Kaepernick replaced with the San Francisco 49ers. Smith went on to star for Kansas City while Kaepernick failed to hold the San Francisco job.
But don’t take my word for the fact that the Redskins don’t need Kaepernick. Interim head coach Bill Callahan says:
Our situation is full at this juncture right now because of the two veteran quarterbacks we have along with Dwayne. We have three on our roster where generally a lot of teams just carry two on their roster. We’re really carrying one extra quarterback than most teams normally carry.
Yet, the Redskins reportedly will send a representative to attend Kaepernick’s workout on Saturday. Why?
Curiosity? Courtesy to Kaepernick, who played for two of the Redskins’ current assistants in San Francisco? A show of support for Roger Goodell? A show of political correctness for the D.C. fans?
I couldn’t say. I can say that signing Kaepernick makes no sense for the Washington Redskins

At this point, what difference does it make?
I don't know any teams that are looking for that. Maybe the women's national soccer team?
So they won't be called racist by the MSM.
Kapernick has these fools wrapped around his finger.
Ha, ha. I love it.
WTF other than Kapernick give a rat’s butt?
For the same reason this entirely unimportant event is “news”. A circus distracts everyone from anything important going on in the world.
Maybe they are planning to sign him and trade him to the Jets. :)
Hard to believe any team would even look at K.
I hope he is injured during the workout.
DC is the Deep State team.
If there’s any city where he sort of fits, it’s D.C.
any team hiring Kaerpernick is committing revenue suicide. Their fans will boycott.
It would be really funny if the Redskins make him an offer and he refuses, citing they’re racists. He’d be done.

Kap will sit on the bench until the Redskins change their name....
A purely racial decision... Need to help a worthless & over-the-hill Amish quarterback to satisfy the deluge, on talk radio, by Amish fans demanding and end to racist owners...
an end to racist owners...
The NFL is club where the owners scratch each other’s backs. Kapernick is one of those little nuisance itches that some just can’t resist scratching.
Other club owners will owe a favor to the owner who takes care of the itch.
They need a good laugh to take back to the clubhouse.
The left and the media will not let them off the hook until they have removed the "Redskins" team name. So, trying out Kaepercrap won't change that one bit. Even if they changed the name, the left would just continue to blast them for past actions.
