Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he was contacted Thursday by a team inquiring about Colin Kaepernick's 2017 workout with the Seahawks.
Carroll also claimed he regretted not signing Kaepernick in 2017, and that the only reason he didn't was that he "felt (Kap) was a starter, and that he was certain Kap would be starting somewhere that season." Carroll can say that now, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reported at the time that the Seahawks ultimately did not make the move because Kap would not commit to stop kneeling for the national anthem. Profootballtalk reported in 2017 that Kap was willing to accept backup money behind Russell Wilson. The league can express all the Kap regrets it wants, but the reality is, he was deliberately iced out for three years and no one can credibly deny it.

But if Carroll thought he was a starter who was willing to accept back up money, why not sign him?

Speaking Monday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he would "welcome" a Colin Kaepernick return to the league.
"Well, listen, if he wants to resume his career in the NFL, then obviously it's gonna take a team to make that decision," Goodell said. "But I welcome that, support a club making that decision, and encourage them to do that." Goodell's words come three years too late, but the league is trying to get back on the right side of history following this month's civil unrest. There have been a lot of words spoken. They will need to be matched by action.

The story of NFL star and civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick’s early years is being made into a documentary.
The six-part series entitled 'Colin in Black & White' will be shown on streaming service Netflix.
Kaepernick, 32, became a symbol in the fight against racial injustice when he kneeled in protest during the United States national anthem in 2016.
“Too often we see race and black stories portrayed through a white lens,” said Kaepernick.
His 'take a knee' gesture has since been used as a sign of protest against racial inequality by sportspeople across the globe, including recently by Premier League footballers and officials.
The TV series will look at Kaepernick’s early life as a black child growing up with a white adopted family, and what led him to become the activist he is today.
“We seek to give new perspective to the differing realities that black people face," added Kaepernick.
“We explore the racial conflicts I faced as an adopted black man in a white community, during my high school years.”
Kaepernick was initially criticised for his decision to kneel during the national anthem throughout the 2016 season, including by then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Other players joined Kaepernick's protests, though Kaepernick himself has been without a team since opting out of his 49ers contract at the start of the 2017 season.
The movement was given added impetus in recent weeks following the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis and subsequent Black Lives Matter protests across the world.
In response to the protests, the NFL, which had previously banned players from dropping to one knee, performed a U-turn earlier this month and said players should be allowed to protest during the anthem.

There are a few aspects as to how/why this anti-semitism hasn't been called out anywhere near to the level that comments against the Black community/BLM/"the left" in general:
1) Apparently the "Nation of Islam" and Farrakan have influenced a lot more people than the general public realise because his "theories" seem to be more pervasive than you'd expect of an organisation with 50,000 members.
2) "Woke" culture picks and chooses what its cause du jour is and ignores basically everything else (although this one was apparent well before now).
3) The cause of Israel and Zionism is associated with the "Right", while the plight of Palestinians has become a key progressive issue
4) People are hypocrites
