Report: Some Bengals want Colin Kaepernick

lf players want the team to consider signing quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick, of course, is still a free agent. Speculation has run rampant that he’s unsigned due to his silent protests via kneeling for the national anthem, though there’s no concrete evidence that’s the case.

The locker room has reportedly been in "mutiny" since an embarrassing loss to Houston, leading to the firing of offensive coordinator Ken Zampese. PFT also suggested A.J. McCarron could supplant Andy Dalton as the starting quarterback if the offense continues struggling.

It’s a juicy rumor, but just that. There’s no real substance to the report, just something to possibly keep an eye on if things go south for the Bengals in Green Bay next week.
