Right now, the Las Vegas Raiders have four quarterbacks on their depth chart — Chase Garbers, Jarret Stidham, Nick Mullens, and starter Derek Carr. This may be one reason the team recently worked out Colin Kaepernick, becoming the first NFL team to do so since Kaepernick found himself out of the league after the 2016 season — more than anything, because the NFL found his protests and activism against police brutality to be distasteful enough to give him a “soft” ban from the league.
Carr, the team’s entrenched star at the position, would see no threat from Kaepernick if the Raiders signed him. In fact, Carr is all in on the idea.
“I don’t want to speak for everybody in that kind of sense — I don’t want someone mad at me for saying, ‘I think it would be great,’ — but I know him and I would get along great,” Carr said on Tuesday, following the Raiders’ first mandatory minicamp practice, per ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez. “I know we have in the past, and I think we would again. I think for the most part, I think he’d get along great with our guys.”
