Colin Kaepernick Rumors: 'Rust' Is an Issue for Some Teams; Seahawks Linked to QB

Colin Kaepernick's lengthy layoff could hinder the free-agent quarterback's attempt to reignite his NFL career.

The former San Francisco 49ers star had a throwing exhibition Saturday during halftime of Michigan's spring game.

That sparked discussion about whether the 34-year-old, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2016, will garner much interest around the league.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on SportsCenter that "the rust that Kaepernick mentioned is an issue for some teams." He added that the Seattle Seahawks could be “a team to watch” as they potentially add to their quarterback room in the wake of the Russell Wilson trade.
