The Chargers plan to enter the 2020 season with Tyrod Taylor as their quarterback, but coach Anthony Lynn acknowledged Wednesday that Colin Kaepernick is on the team’s radar.

Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since he took a kneel back in 2016 striking up major controversy. In four years and 125 current QB roster spots, not one team has made room for the quarterback.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said this week that he supports Kaepernick and encouraged a team to sign the former San Francisco 49er. 

Kaitlin O'Toole is joined by Jason Hirschhorn for insight on if there is a chance that Colin Kapernick could be added to the Chargers roster.

Kaitlin O'Toole: The Chargers plan to enter the 2020 season with Tyrod Taylor as their quarterback, but coach Anthony Lynn acknowledged Wednesday that Colin Kaepernick is on the team's radar. Joining me now from ChargersReport is Jason Hirschhorn. Jason, Kaepernick has been out of the league since kneeling back in 2016. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said this week that he supports Kaepernick and encourages a team to sign the former San Francisco 49ers. Is there a chance, though, that Kaepernick will be added to the Chargers roster?

Jason Hirschhorn: That's what Anthony Lynn was discussing earlier today, that Colin Kaepernick is on their workout list and he thinks that Colin Kaepernick should be on every team's workout list. He's a quarterback with extensive starting experience, obviously led the 49ers to back to back NFC title games to a Super Bowl. This is a very accomplished player. Obviously, more than that comes into the calculation with Colin Kaepernick. But for a team like the Chargers who want to run the type of offense that Kaepernick did run with the 49ers, one that he was very successful in from 2011 to 2014, it makes a lot of sense. So it's not something that the Chargers are openly doing now. Anthony Lynn said that they're not planning to have a workout at this time, but if something were to happen to Tyrod Taylor, to Justin Herbert, to Easton Stick, they would consider bringing in Colin Kaepernick for workout and potentially bringing him onto the roster.

Kaitlin O'Toole: There are over a hundred and twenty-five QB roster spots currently, but not one team is really showed interest in Kaepernick. Obviously, he does have some controversy surrounding him. Is that something that the Chargers are concerned about?

Jason Hirschhorn: It doesn't really seem like the Chargers care all that much. Anthony Lynn, for example, has talked to his players and to the media about the protests that are going on in southern California and around the nation. Anthony Lynn actually participated in one of those protests, the one in Huntington Beach. So this is not a subject matter that concerns the Chargers. They very much believe that it's proper to have those kinds of conversations in a locker room. They feel like they have the right culture to deal with those conversations. And they feel like someone like Colin Kaepernick it could fit right in.

Kaitlin O'Toole: I couldn't agree more. Jason, thanks so much for your insight on this. Really appreciate it.
