Colin Kaepernick and the Seahawks kind of need each other. So will it happen?
Each week, The Washington Post’s Mark Maske provides in-depth NFL analysis with “First and 10,” a dissection of the league’s most important developments.

FIRST …

Colin Kaepernick, if he wants NFL employment, just might be down to needing the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks, if they want a capable quarterback to back up starter Russell Wilson, just might be down to needing Kaepernick.

So Kaepernick-to-the-Seahawks makes a ton of sense. But will it happen?

[It’s about time for someone… anyone… to sign Colin Kaepernick]

Kaepernick, the polarizing free agent whose ongoing unemployment has led to characterizations that he is being blackballed by NFL teams, visited the Seahawks last week.

There hasn’t been a publicly acknowledged deal, at least not yet, despite director Spike Lee’s Instagram post over the weekend thanking Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll for signing Kaepernick. The post was later deleted.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be a deal.

Kaepernick must realize by now — or at least he should — that there isn’t a starting opportunity or a huge-money contract waiting for him out there.

Maybe that’s because, as some observers have concluded, of the political statement he made last season while with the San Francisco 49ers, refusing to stand for the national anthem before games in protest of the treatment of African Americans in the United States. Maybe it’s simply where he is on the arc of his playing career.

More likely, it’s a combination of those factors. Whatever the case, the reality for Kaepernick is that even a minimum-salary contract offer by the Seahawks probably is the best he’ll be able to do in the foreseeable future.
