NFL free agent Colin Kaepernick is said to have several teams interested in signing him almost four years after the last time he stepped onto the field.

Since the 2016 season, the quarterback was essentially blackballed from the league over his kneeling protest in reaction to police brutality, but in recent weeks -- given the massive global demonstrations -- teams could be opening up according to reports.

Kaepernick, 32, last played in 2016 with the San Francisco 49ers, but he was not signed to a new contract after that season and teams all but ignored him as the kneeling protest controversy gained steam.

But recently, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that he would “encourage” a team to sign Kaepernick.

Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn told reporters in a video conference last week that he had not spoken to Kaepernick, but teams “it would be crazy” not to place him on the team’s workout list if they decide to go for a new quarterback.
