Shomporko Desk: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he would “encourage” a team to sign former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

“Well, listen, if he wants to resume his career in the NFL, then obviously it’s going to 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.”

Goodell’s comments come after he said in a video uploaded on the NFL’s online life accounts that the league ought to have listened before to players’ racism concerns.

Goodell’s video, in response to NFL players approaching the league to condemn racism and support its Black players, didn’t specify Kaepernick, an oversight for which the commissioner was criticized.

“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 unfortunately for a long time,” Goodell said. “But I hope we’re at a point now where everybody’s committed to making long-term, sustainable change.”

The NFL’s discussions come as the nation has been gripped by protests and conversations about police brutality and racism in the wake of the deaths of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Breonna Taylor in Louisville and Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta, at the hands of police.

Kaepernick hasn’t played in the league since the 2016 season — the same season he first sat during the playing of the National Anthem. The protest evolved into kneeling after onetime Seattle Seahawk and Green Beret Nate Boyer convinced Kaepernick it would be more respectful to the nation’s military, the quarterback has said.

Kaepernick, who led the 49ers to the 2013 Super Bowl, played his last game on January 1, 2017. He became a free agent after.

No team offered him a contract, and that October, he filed a grievance against the league. Kaepernick accused NFL team owners of colluding to keep him from being signed. The NFL denied any collusion but in 2019, they reached a settlement with Kaepernick and former teammate Eric Reid, who knelt with him.

In November 2019, Kaepernick called off an NFL workout in Atlanta after his representatives said his request to have a film crew was denied. He ended up holding his own workout session in Riverdale, Georgia.
