On May 25, Colin Kaepernick met with the Seahawks to potentially sign a contract, and reports said the meeting went “very well.” But on Tuesday, Pat Kirwan reported the Seahawks probably will not sign Kaepernick.
Jim miller doesn’t believe Seattle will sign Kaep and I agree

The way I see it, the Seahawks shied away from Kaepernick for one of two reasons.
- Kaepernick and his agent asked for more money than the Seahawks were willing to pay him.
- Seahawks ownership vetoed Kaepernick out of concern that he would drive away season-ticket holders, advertisers and corporate sponsors.
