returning to the NFL is starting to become more of a reality with each pa sing day now. Despite the fact that the former one-time NFC Champion and starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers hasn't even taken an NFL snap since 2016, the momentum is starting to build. After an NFL-driven workout in 2019 led nowhere for Kaepernick, buzz is building that teams are interested in his services for the 2020 season.Like countle s others in the wake of George Floyd's Minneapolis killing and a renewed national fervor for racial justice, the has reversed course from Kaepernick's days as a player, openly encouraging the kind of peaceful protests he famously started in 2016 and to some of the causes he championed.Former NFL coaches are now years ago. Current ones are . Hall of Famers are . Super Trey Burke Jersey agent Drew Rosenhaus thinks before a team signs Kaepernick for 2020. And Kaepernick himself is apparently " " to resume his playing career.NFL commi sioner Roger Goodell has gotten on board as well, saying he and would welcome him back to the league, while fellow NFL executive Troy Vincent has , suggesting the league wants him back. Hurdles a suredly remain, but now that the NFL is publicly riding the tide of social change, here's a rundown of teams that could make sense as potential Kaepernick landing spots:1. There aren't any teams with as many overt connections to Kaepernick as the Ravens. First and foremost: Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator who helped unleash Kap with the 49ers back in 2012 and is now working wonders with in the Ravens' run-first attack. Roman said in 2019 that Kaepernick's " ," and it's easy to see how he could integrate a dual-threat like Kap, either as a decoy, Jackson insurance Moses Malone Jersey or situational option QB. That's e sentially already what the Ravens train and to do anyway; Kaepernick just happens to be bigger and better.The Ravens , for a variety of speculated reasons, but they were still reportedly close to signing him while John Harbaugh was coach. (Harbaugh's brother, Jim, of course, coached the Niners when San Francisco drafted and ultimately named Kap their starter.) Plus, a lot has happened since then, with most of the general NFL public rallying behind Kaepernick's original me saging. The Ravens are already built to contend for a , and they already have their unquestioned face of the franchise at QB. They're much better positioned now to absorb any "distractions" Kap might bring as a proven No. 2. 2. Like the Ravens, the Texans already have their young, dual-threat franchise QB, but that's partially what makes them a logical fit. is a traditional Bill O'Brien pocket pa ser at the No. 2 spot, but Houston's still got plenty of cap space to toy with, and if anyone's proven to be open to off-the-wall roster moves, it's O'Brien.More than that, just about every prominent leader on this team, from O'Brien to to J.J. Watt, has been explicit in their advocacy for social justice -- with O'Brien himself set to follow in Kap's footsteps and . O'Brien's reportedly already gotten pitches from about signing his brother, Eric, another of the original player protesters. Why couldn't Kaepernick be next, especially considering his upside as a situational runner and/or Watson backup?3. This feels like a long shot just because of how much the Jaguars seem intent on cutting away or avoiding distraction (see: , etc.) and making 2020 about QB audition, but team owner Shad Khan is fresh off a in the fight against injustice -- the kind of action-not-words declaration that could be used to welcome Kap, his civil rights activism and so forth. Plus, there wouldn't be much downside, from an on-field and entertainment perspective, to letting Kaepernick challenge Minshew -- or at least wait in the wings for a starting opportunity. 4. Who better to shepherd Kaepernick on his transition back to the NFL than Andy Reid, who's never shied away from polarizing QB moves and happens to have a Super Bowl- Wilt Chamberlain Jersey winning supporting cast? With a Lombardi Trophy under his belt and the NFL's best young QB in tow in , Reid can afford to dabble at the backup spot, where Kap would offer more play-making upside than . Speaking of Mahomes, No. 15 about the NFL being more proactive to advance social justice causes, so it's unlikely he'd put up any opposition to such a move. Imagine Kaepernick in Reid's Chiefs offense, even as a gadget player for a single season before re-hitting the market; the potential is hard to mi s.5. The Chargers truly seem set on letting be the placeholder at QB until first-round pick is ready to go, but they also explored , so it's not as if they're blindly unaware of their potential as 2020 contenders. Adding Chris Webber Jersey Kaepernick wouldn't preclude them from rolling with Taylor and/or Herbert, but rather insert an alternative for 2020 and give Herbert more time to sit and learn after a shortened offseason. Coach Anthony Lynn would almost certainly be on board with it from an off-field perspective, having this offseason.6. Like the Jags, they're probably unlikely suitors just because of how Mike Zimmer tends to keep a tight ship, but ownership and the front office are also pretty serious about recommitting to the social justice fight, and giving a voice to player leaders like , who've supported protests. From a football standpoint, they're an incredibly logical fit as a run-based, play-action-heavy offense without a rock-solid backup for . Throw in the connection to the recent Minneapolis tragedy, and there's a reason former NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart . 7. If the Eagles were concerned about the optics of adding a high-profile backup for after ' tenure, they wouldn't have drafted in the second round. And while Hurts' early pick would seem to take them out of the mix, they ince santly justified that selection by calling themselves a "quarterback factory" and emphasizing the importance of the No. 2 spot. Team owner Jeffrey Lurie is a known progre sive on the social justice front, his Eagles have been a bastion for that kind of work since helped further the foundation, and they've taken polarizing swings before (see: Michael Vick). Adding Kap, even as a one-year rental, would give Doug Pederson a new toy, Hurts Derrick Walton Jersey more time to grow and Wentz a more experienced reserve.8. Team leadership, including ownership and QB , have been talking up renewed action in the social justice movement, and more than that, Mike Vrabel might prefer having someone other than as his backup plan under center. The Titans saw the value of a veteran No. 2 in 2019, and Kaepernick seems like the ideal play-action backup for their offense, which is going to run through anyway. Cap space certainly wouldn't be the holdup, either.
