RENTON Colin Kaepernick is going to sign with an NFL team soon.
That is the opinion of Doug Baldwin, the Seahawks No. 1 wide receiver. Baldwin has consulted with the unsigned former San Francisco 49ers quarterback over each star player’s social activism over the past year.
Baldwin spoke following Seattle’s organized-team-activity practice Tuesday. It was the day after the Seahawks passed on Kaepernick and signed 28-year-old journeyman Austin Davis instead to be their backup to Russell Wilson.
Davis and Kaepernick made free-agent visits with the Seahawks in the same week last month. Kaepernick, 29, is just one year older than Davis.
