Chargers' Lynn: 'Would be crazy' not to put Kaepernick on our workout list

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn told reporters that he's open to adding Colin Kaepernick to his team's quarterback depth chart.

"It would be crazy to not have him on your workout list," Lynn said Wednesday, according to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry.

"I haven't spoken with Colin - not sure where he's at as far in his career, what he wants to do - but Colin definitely fits the style of quarterback for the system that we're going to be running," Lynn added.

The head coach also said he's "very confident and happy" with the three quarterbacks currently on the Chargers' depth chart. Los Angeles used a first-round pick on quarterback Justin Herbert this offseason, adding the Oregon product to a room featuring veteran Tyrod Taylor and second-year signal-caller Easton Stick.

After protests for racial justice began in the United States in May, Kaepernick attracted renewed attention in the NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell recently encouraged teams to sign him.

Last week, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that an unnamed team called him about Kaepernick. The Seahawks were the last NFL team to bring the quarterback in for a visit in 2017.

Kaepernick hasn't played in the NFL since the 2016 season when he began kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality.
