Apparently, Jon Gruden has the green light if he wants Colin Kaepernick on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster.
Raiders’ owner Mark Davis told ESPN.com on Wednesday that he has given his blessing to Raiders’ coaches since 2017 to sign Kaepernick if they wanted.
Jack Del Rio was the Raiders’ coach and Reggie McKenzie was the general manager back in 2017-18. Gruden didn’t take back over as coach — and final decision-maker — until 2018.
So, according to Davis’ timeline, Gruden has had the ability to sign Kaepernick the entire time he has been back with the Raiders.
