Stills has long been an ally of Kaepernick's and is one of the few remaining players who continues to kneel during the national anthem.
USA TODAYBALTIMORE — Kenny Stills was a bit wary of the NFL's planned workout for free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick, telling reporters in Houston this week that he feared the league was trying to create"some type of media circus."
"It's all hearsay, but if it's true about what was put in the waiver, trying to keep Colin from taking further legal action on the league and things like that, then it was exactly what we thought," Stills told USA TODAY Sports,"which is just a media circus and the league trying to cover their tail, as usual."
Kaepernick's agents said the NFL asked the 32-year-old to sign"an unusual liability waiver" and refused their requests to open the event to the media, prompting the change. The NFL said it sent Kaepernick a"standard liability waiver" and it was"disappointed" that he did not participate in the workout.
