Ever since the NFL has changed its stance regarding the employment of free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick, there has been plenty of speculation regarding potential landing spots for him. While there remains questions regarding how much the hiatus has had an impact on his game, a number of teams have reportedly expressed some interest.
The sportsbook betonline.ag has pegged the Baltimore Ravens as the favorites to sign Kaepernick, via Jason B. Hirschhorn of Sports Illustrated:

The Ravens managed to secure their long-term future under center with the reigning MVP in Lamar Jackson. Regardless, they have still put an emphasis on shoring up a surplus of talent at quarterback with Robert Griffin III. Kaepernick’s skill set as a dual-threat option would make him an ideal fit in Baltimore's offense alongside the likes of Jackson and Robert Griffin III. Of course, it remains to be seen just how willing they are to make it come to fruition.
Checking in behind the Ravens are the Seattle Seahawks. They had been linked to Kaepernick back in 2017 when his stint with the San Francisco 49ers came to an end after he became the first player to kneel during the national anthem in the 2016 campaign. Head coach Pete Carroll has since expressed remorse for not signing him after all the criticism he received for taking action.
The Seahawks giving Kaepernick an opportunity this time around could be an ideal way for them to redeem themselves while also giving them another quarterback that can make plays in and out of the pocket.
