The Facts: An unfortunate side effect of Kaepernick's silence during free agency has been speculation regarding his desire to sign as a backup and confusion about his possible asking price. Citing sources familiar with Kaepernick's thinking, NFL Network's Michael Silver reported Saturday that Kaepernick would be happy to suit up with the Ravens -- even on a short-term basis -- and the quarterback hasn't discussed money with any teams since leaving the 49ers.
Diehards Line:
On Thursday, Ravens HC John Harbaugh mentioned Kaepernick as a possible option for the team as quarterback Joe Flacco deals with a back injury. The next day, the Ravens signed arena league quarterback David Olson. Harbaugh hinted Friday that Olson was signed because Flacco was merely day to day and could be back soon. ... Kaepernick went 1-10 as a starter last year in San Francisco, completing 59.2 percent of his passes for 2,241 yards and 16 touchdowns. He rushed for another 468 yards and two touchdowns. Harbaugh's discussions with Kaepernick have been the most positive sign that the quarterback might actually find a team this year since his visit with the Seahawks earlier this offseason.
