Roger Goodell Says the NFL Has
‘Moved on’ From Colin Kaepernick.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell recently
spoke out about the events surrounding
Kaepernick’s sponsored workout.
The November event nearly collapsed
at the last minute when Kaepernick opted
to host his own event 60 miles away.
The decision was reportedly due to
the NFL’s “unusual” liability waver
as well as their requirement that the
session be closed to the media. .
In Goodell’s opinion, the workout
was an “incredible opportunity” that
Kaepernick “chose not to take.”.
This was ... about creating an opportunity,
which Colin's representatives came out in
early October and we created that opportunity.
It was a unique opportunity -- an incredible
opportunity and he chose not to take it, Roger Goodell, via CNN.
Goodell went on to say that while
he understands Kaepernick’s decision
to change venues, the NFL has
ultimately “moved on” from him. .
Although he didn’t provide any more specifics,
his statement is believed to indicate that the
league is finished considering Kaepernick for
future workouts or team rosters. .
As of now, Kaepernick has not
received any contract offers
from the eight teams that did
attend his relocated workout.
