The NFL invited Colin Kaepernick to attend a one-on-one meeting with Roger Goodell but the two sides offered conflicting statements on whether he responded to the invitation.

Kaepernick attorney Mark Geragos told ABC News they "responded immediately that Colin would be happy to attend" but that the meeting fell through when the league rejected a request for a mediator to be present.

Troy Vincent texted Kaepernick with the invite but claims he never responded.

"We responded immediately that Colin would be happy to attend," Geragos said in a statement provided to ABC News. "Because of the grievance we asked that a mediator be present. A mediator also would ensure that the discussions were productive and confidential and not used as a PR stunt or prop by the league. Colin's proposal was rejected."
