Redskins will send someone to watch Colin Kaepernick’s workout

News broke in the NFL on Tuesday that free agent Colin Kaepernick would be holding a private workout for all 32 teams on Saturday in Atlanta.

A number of teams will take a look at the veteran QB who hasn’t played in several years, and the Washington Redskins will be one of them. Coach Bill Callahan originally cited that they already have three quarterbacks and are not looking for more, but John Keim of ESPN reported that the Redskins will be in attendance to watch Kaepernick.

While Kaepernick could have been an interesting addition to the team a couple of years ago, after Kirk Cousins left for Minnesota, he doesn’t fit with the current roster at the moment. As Callahan noted, the Redskins have what they think can be a franchise quarterback in rookie Dwayne Haskins, and any distraction to him would severely hinder future growth.

Now that Haskins was finally named the starter for the rest of the season, you shouldn’t expect much QB movement in Washington – even with the team going to evaluate Kaepernick.
