Jun 17, 2020 1:21 PM

Anthony Lynn said team "would be crazy" not to have Colin Kaepernick on their workout lists this summer.

Lynn did not indicate whether Kaepernick was currently on the Los Angeles Chargers' list.

"But Colin definitely fits the style of quarterback for the system that we're going to be running. I'm very confident and happy with the three quarterbacks that I have, but you can never have too many people waiting on the runway."

The Chargers are the first team to mention Kaepernick as a workout candidate.

Roger Goodell 'Encourages' Teams To Signs Colin Kaepernick

Jun 15, 2020 8:34 PM

Roger Goodell said he supports and encourages teams to sign Colin Kaepernick this offseason.

Kaepernick hasn't played since the 2016 season when he began to kneel during the national anthem to protest racial inequality. 

"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.

"If his efforts are not on the field but continuing to work in this space, we welcome him to that table and to help us, guide us, help us make better decisions about the kinds of things that need to be done in the communities. We have invited him in before, and we want to make sure that everybody's welcome at that table, and trying to help us deal with some very complex, difficult issues, that have been around for a long time.

"But I hope we're at a point now where everybody's committed to making long-term, sustainable change."

Myles Garrett, Browns Open Up Extension Talks

Jun 12, 2020 1:08 PM

The Cleveland Browns and Myles Garrett have engaged in contract extension discussions.

Garrett has two seasons remaining on his existing deal. 

Fellow 2017 NFL draft class member Christian McCaffrey has already signed an extension after three seasons.

After 10 sacks in as many games last year, Garrett is widely viewed as one of the game's most feared pass-rushers.

"We do see Myles as a long-term member and pillar in our organization," general manager Andrew Berry told 105.7 the Fan Baltimore last month. "Great player, great person. Obviously, he did make a mistake last year that he's learned from. But our confidence in and faith in Myles has not wavered and we're looking to seeing what he does this year and certainly for years to come.''
