The NFL organized a surprise workout for Kaepernick in November, only for the former 49ers QB to switch the venue at the eleventh hour.
He last played in the NFL in the same year, before becoming a free agent. When he was not offered a tryout by any of the 32 franchises, Kaepernick sued the owners for colluding to keep him out of the league, before reaching a settlement with the NFL in February.
"It was about opportunity, a credible opportunity," Goodell said as per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport."He chose not to take it, and I understand that. The league has moved on." Following the workout, the former 49ers quarterback urged the NFL to"stop running" and insisted he was ready to play anywhere in the league.
The NFL only announced the event four days before it was due to be held, a decision which left even Kaepernick surprised.
