Derek Carr says Colin Kaepernick would fit in 'great' with Las Vegas Raiders
Quarterback Derek Carr on Tuesday endorsed the Raiders giving Colin Kaepernick a workout at the team facility two weeks ago and said, "I think he'd be great" in the locker room, should Las Vegas sign him. Kaepernick, who took a knee to protest police brutality and racial injustice during the pregame national anthem, has not played in the NFL since 2016, and the Raiders are the only team to have worked him out since. Carr said he has been familiar with Kaepernick since the two played in the Western Athletic Conference, with Fresno State and Nevada, respectively, in 2009. Kaepernick was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the second round (No. 36 overall) of the 2011 draft while Carr was taken by the Raiders in the second round (also No. 36 overall) three years later. The Raiders currently have four quarterbacks on their roster. Carr, Nick Mullens, Jarrett Stidham and Chase Garbers.

Aaron Rodgers: 'Definitely' will finish career with Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday he doesn't know how many more seasons he will play admitting that the three-year, $150 million contract extension he signed in March shouldn't be an indicator, but he knows where he will finish his career. Packers coach Matt LaFleur initially wasn't sure how much work he would give Rodgers on Tuesday, but after seeing that the reigning MVP was in good shape, he allowed Rodgers to take part in almost every drill, including some 11-on-11s that were at a jog-through speed. The Packers are coming off three straight 13-win seasons but failed to reach the Super Bowl in any of them, including two losses in the NFC Championship Game. And now Rodgers has to deal with life after Davante Adams, the All-Pro receiver who wanted out of Green Bay and was traded this offseason to the Las Vegas Raiders.

QB Cam Newton says he put himself in tough situations with the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots
Cam Newton still believes he's one of the 32 best quarterbacks in the NFL and that the current perception people have of him comes from putting himself in a "f---ed-up'' situation with the Carolina Panthers last season." I signed on Thursday. I played on Sunday,'' the 2015 NFL MVP said on "The Pivot Podcast'' hosted by ESPN's Ryan Clark and former NFL players Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor. "At what point did you think you was going to be successful? The next week, I started. That's still under 10 days of you being on the team. And you're still trying to learn the offense. Newton, 33, is a free agent. He spent the final eight games with the Panthers last season after being signed in November when starter Sam Darnold was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. Four days later, in a backup role, Newton scored on his first two plays, a 2-yard run and a 2-yard pass -- to help the Panthers to an upset win at Arizona. He started the next five games, going 0-5 with three touchdown passes and five interceptions. He also had four rushing touchdowns.
