Roger Goodell On Colin Kaepernick's Possible Return to NFL: 'I Welcome That'
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is on board with any of the NFL's 32 franchises signing former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Goodell added during the Monday interview that if Kaepernick is not back on the field when the 2020 season gets underway, the league would also welcome his insights to "help us and guide us and help us to make better decisions" on complex issues.
Troy Vincent, a former NFL player who now serves as the league's Executive Vice President of Football Operations, echoed Goodell's sentiments that he wants Kaepernick back in the league, but ultimately the decision falls to the teams.
Both the comments come nearly two weeks after Goodell admitted the league was "wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier" on racial injustice issues.
President Trump has also hit the NFL recently when he questioned whether Goodell was "intimating that it would now be O.K. for the players to KNEEL, or not to stand, for the National Anthem, thereby disrespecting our Country & our Flag?"
