As we all know, former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick remains out of the NFL.
No matter how long Kaepernick remains unsigned, however, rumors will swirl connecting him to teams. Thanks to Kaepernick's attorney Mark Geragos, Kaepernick was linked to the Raiders and the Patriots back in September.
In an interview with the New York Times, Patriots owner Robert Kraft didn't confirm nor deny Geragos. Kraft called the report a "rumor" before pausing, taking his time and saying, “I’m done talking about it."

“Let me say this: I would very much like to see him in the league,” Kraft also said.
Kraft could have easily denied the report. He didn't though, and yet, we're in the second straight season of Kaepernick as a free agent since he started kneeling to protest racial and social injustices.
Kaepernick is still the youngest quarterback to win a regular season game in New England against the Patriots. In 2012, Kaepernick, at 25 years and 43 days old, led the 49ers to a 41-34 win at Gillette Stadium. He threw for 221 yards and four touchdowns in the victory.
