Kaepernick could get to play again; Raymond Arroyo breaks down his 'Friday Follies.'
NFL free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick is scheduled to work out for several league teams in Atlanta this weekend, Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo reported on The Ingraham Angle’s Friday Follies segment.

Earlier this year, the NFL paid Kaepernick and former teammate Eric Reid a nearly $10 million settlement over allegations that owners colluded to keep them from playing on a team.
