Quarterback deficient Redskins say they discussed Kaepernick; why he didn’t get a tryout

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said team personnel discussed giving quarterback Colin Kaepernick a tryout, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Before you get all fired up, it’s not happening.

“Not a lot of time to really get a brand new quarterback and new system installed and taught in a couple of days of practice,” Gruden told the AP. “So he’s been talked about and discussed, but we’ll probably go a different direction.”

Hail to the Redskins.

Mark Geragos, Kaepernick’s attorney as he pursues a collusion grievance against the NFL, was unmoved by the news of Gruden’s apparent interest.
