Seahawks push back on Kaepernick. Is there a sea change in Seattle?

Sea change: a profound or notable transition; a broad transformation. From William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”.

Former (for the past year) quarterback and full-time social activist Colin Kaepernick was supposed to be in Seattle this week to work out for the team. In itself, this is surprising, as last year Pete Carroll made it clear he saw Kap as a starter in the league, not a backup. In case you forgot:

This is just a guess, but I imagine the Seahawks still view Kaepernick as a starter. Maybe they incorrectly assumed he’d get snapped up by some desperate team that needed him to do just that, start.
