Tom Brady isn’t the most evasive quarterback in the pocket, but the New England Patriots star did a little bobbing and weaving Friday afternoon. The 41-year-old quarterback, who is about to start his 19th NFL season with the Patriots, was asked for his opinion on Nike’s new ad starring former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The ad, which aired Thursday during the Philadelphia Eagles’ game against the Atlanta Falcons, focuses on the idea that anyone can achieve anything they set their mind to and that you should always dream big no matter your circumstance. Kaepernick, of course, was the first player to take a knee during the national anthem to ... NESN.com

NFL Rumors: Texans Have Discussed Taking Look At Colin Kaepernick
Could Colin Kaepernick finally be getting a job in the NFL?

Report: Broncos, 49ers Don’t Have Deal For Colin Kaepernick; Sides Still Talking
It looks as though the NFL rumor mill got a little ahead of itself on a potential Colin Kaepernick trade. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that the San Francisco 49ers had agreed in principle to trade the quarterback to the Denver Broncos, but ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reported that’s not entirely true.
