Colin Kaepernick, the embattled former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who's been out of the league since 2016, held a workout on Saturday for several teams -- and it wasn't without controversy.
"We are disappointed that Colin did not appear for his workout," the NFL said in a statement Saturday."He informed us of that decision at 2:30 p.m. today along with the public.""Colin's decision has no effect on his status in the League. He remains an unrestricted free agent eligible to sign with any club," the NFL said in a statement.
The controversy surrounding Kaepernick began when he started kneeling during the national anthem before games to protest police brutality three years ago. After becoming a free agent following the season, Kaepernick has remained unsigned.
