Colin Kaepernick’s impending private workout has been a hot button of conversation, as all 32 NFL teams were sent invites for a Saturday workout in Atlanta.
Naturally, the Bears are a team being thrown around when discussing Kaepernick, as Chicago is looking to solidify the quarterback position.
When Matt Nagy was asked about whether the Bears would send someone to Atlanta to watch Kaepernick, he remained mum on any potential interest from the Bears.
“I honestly have no idea right now,” Nagy said, via NBC Sports Chicago. “I’m just kind of focused in on where we’re at. I’ll leave that up to Ryan [Pace] and those guys. I know they’ll have a handle on that.”
Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL for three years, but there’s no denying how dynamic he was as a player. Following the controversy that followed him over taking a knee during the national anthem, many are looking to see how things ultimately pan out for him, Nagy included.
“It’ll be interesting,” Nagy said. “He’s been out of the game a little bit but when he was doing well and playing he definitely was a weapon. I’ll be curious to see how he does. I have no idea. Again, for me, I wish him the best and all that and you always root good for people but from where I’m at right now personally we’re so focused in on the Rams.”
The Bears should do their due diligence at the most important — and in Chicago’s case, most frustrating — position by sending a scout to watch Kaepernick.
