The NFL has announced that 11 teams have committed to attend Colin Kaepernick’s workout in Atlanta this Saturday.
As the Bears search for stability at the quarterback position, you’d believe they were among those teams. But you’d be wrong.
Here’s the list of teams that will be in attendance, as of Thursday:
- Cardinals
- Falcons
- Browns
- Broncos
- Lions
- Dolphins
- Patriots
- Giants
- Jets
- Buccaneers
- Redskins
Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has struggled mightily in his third season in not just a mediocre offense, but a bad one. While the unit’s struggles don’t all fall on Trubisky, he’s a big point of contention.
While Trubisky will likely be on the Bears’ roster in 2020, Chicago is expected to bring in another quarterback, whether it’s a veteran like Andy Dalton or Marcus Mariota or a rookie in the NFL Draft, like Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts or Georgia’s Jake Fromm.
Given the Bears are looking to improve at the quarterback position, they should do their due diligence in exploring every avenue, including Kaepernick. It’s just a workout. Not a commitment.
The Bears still have time before Saturday’s workout to change their minds.
