Colin Kaepernick completed a 40-minute workout in front of representatives from eight NFL teams on Saturday. Afterwards, he said he'll interview with any team at any time.
, who supported Kaepernick going back to their days with the 49ers, was at the beginning of the workout but had to leave, with a game against the Falcons on Sunday.
Asked about the hurdle of getting Kaepernick through NFL ownership if ability isn't the issue, Nalley responded,"Look, that's up to them. Roger Goodell represents the 32 owners, right? And he asked for this workout. Maybe this is Roger's first step into talking an owner into signing him. Hopefully, that's the case."
following a disagreement between the two sides on the quarterback's liability waiver, as well as media availability, among other factors.1:10Colin Kaepernick declares that he has been ready to play for three years, and the ball is in the NFL and Roger Goodell's court. The NFL also said it declined requests made by Kaepernick's camp in the 24 hours preceding the workout to have an additional camera crew record the workout and to open the session to media.
Nalley said the league called Tuesday morning and said the venue had to be in Atlanta. Nalley also said he asked for accommodations -- day and location -- that made more sense to allow general managers and head coaches to attend, and the NFL denied the request. The major issue wasn't the location, but holding the workout on a day such as Tuesday, when a decision-maker could be in attendance. There were no head coaches or general managers among the teams at Saturday's workout.
