The Baltimore Ravens are holding Eugene Monroe out of minicamp practices as they attempt to trade him.

John Harbaugh said "teams are inquiring" about Monroe, an eight-year veteran who's been the team's left tackle when healthy since they acquired him in a 2013 trade.

The Ravens drafted offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley in the first round, in part because Monroe has missed 15 games over the last two seasons due to injury.

Colin Kaepernick expressed excitement that he remains with the San Francisco 49ers after they were unable to fulfill his request for a trade this offseason.

Kaepernick was asked if he is confident his best chance for success is now with the 49ers.

“I’m very confident in that,” said Kaepernick.

Kaepernick answered questions for 18 minutes despite his usual brevity with the media.

“What Chip (Kelly), the coaching staff, my teammates have really done this offseason, and the work they’ve put in and how everything has been going, I’m very excited to be here,” Kaepernick said. “I’m very happy to be here. And looking forward to training camp.”

Kaepernick said he still has not spoken with Trent Baalke, but he declined to outline the reasons he requested the trade.

“Organizations at the end of the season go through and evaluate personnel and opportunities,” Kaepernick said. “That was something, I sat down with my team and did the same thing. That’s how we handled the business.

“We were looking at different opportunities. I don’t want to get into specifics of what happened, why things happened. At this point, everything is football. I’m a 49er. Once again, excited to work with Chip and this coaching staff, Curtis and Ryan have been amazing. I’m excited about what’s to come.”
