The Facts: HC Hue Jackson said today that the Browns haven't discussed signing Kaepernick, although he didn't rule it out in the future. "We haven't really discussed Colin. There's other players at this point that we've had a lot of conversations about to see if we can put them on our team. Not saying it won't come up later on. You have to exhaust everything. But at this point he hasn't come up."
Diehards Line:
Jackson said that in 2011, when he was head coach of the Raiders, he would have liked to have drafted Kaepernick, who went to the 49ers in the second round that year. As for now? "I just think the situation we’re in right now, the players we’ve evaluated thus far to this point, those are the guys we’re going to spend our time with first," Jackson explained. "If that doesn’t fall right, there’s still other players.” As PFT suggests, that’s not exactly shutting the door on Kaepernick, but it sure doesn’t sound like the Browns are particularly interested, either.
