NFL
Seahawks move on without Kaepernick in the fold
By TIM BOOTH
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — Doug
Baldwin completely understood
why the Seattle Seahawks brought
Colin Kaepernick in for a visit.
He also understands why Austin
Davis, and not Kaepernick, was
signed as the latest backup quarter-
back option for the Seahawks.
“I think it’s simple. It’s the
business of the NFL. Right now you
have a lot of young guys that are
looking for opportunities,” Baldwin
said Tuesday as Seattle continued
its second week of OTAs. “The
organizations, they’re going to be
giving the younger guys the first and
second look. They know what Colin
can do. They know he’s a starter in
this league. They’re going to give
every opportunity for the young
guys to compete, show their talents,
and then whatever falls he’ll get
his opportunities once all this dust
settles.”
For much of the offseason Seattle
seemed the logical destination for
Kaepernick — from its style of
offense to the outspokenness of its
locker room. But coach Pete Carroll
didn’t commit to Kaepernick last
week and the team signed Davis on
Monday to compete with Trevone

That left Kaepernick unem-
ployed, for now. Baldwin, who
was in regular communication with
Kaepernick last season as the quar-
terback knelt during the national
anthem to protest police brutality
and the treatment of minorities, said
he believes Kaepernick’s stance last
season is likely playing a small role
in his continued unemployment but
it’s not the primary reason.
“To some degree, but I think
that’s really minor,” Baldwin said.
“There are 32 teams out there. Not
all of them really care about that. I
have no doubt in my mind he’ll have
a job here rather quickly.”
Davis took part in his second

out of the cham-
pionship series
in the NCAA
Women’s College
World Series in
Oklahoma City,
Tuesday, June 6,
2017. Oklahoma
won the game
5-4, and the
championship.
OTA with the Seahawks on Tuesday.
He is in his sixth NFL season after
entering the league as an undrafted
free agent out of Southern Missis-
sippi in 2012.
Davis has appeared in 13 regu-
lar-season games with the Rams
and Browns, including 10 starts. He
has thrown for 2,548 yards with 13
touchdowns and 12 interceptions
and spent part of last season with
Denver.
“He’s a great kid. I haven’t been
able to spend too much time with
him but we’ll see how he does,”
Baldwin said.
Baldwin also addressed the
relationships in Seattle’s locker
room that have become highlighted
this offseason. Most of that has
centered on cornerback Richard
Sherman after the Seahawks openly
talked ahead of April’s draft about
possibly trading the former All-Pro
cornerback, but a suitable deal never
materialized.
That was followed by recent
stories of a locker room divide
largely driven by Sherman’s strug-
gles in getting past the Super Bowl
loss to New England in 2015 when
Wilson was intercepted in the end
zone in the final minute.
Baldwin said he didn’t believe
Seattle’s locker room was that
different from others around the
league. If there is a difference,
Baldwin said, it’s the environment
created by Carroll and general
manager John Schneider that allows
individuality.
“If I’m speaking candidly, yes, do
we have issues in our locker room,
do we have arguments or disagree-
ments? Of course. Every locker
room does,” Baldwin said. “What
I think makes our locker room so
great is that we are transparent, we
are up front with each other, we do
hold each other to a high standard
of accountability. Yeah, sometimes
from the outside it doesn’t look
healthy. But I think that’s why we’ve
been successful.”
OKLAHOMA:
Sophia Reynoso responded with a solo
shot for Florida in the second.
With the bases loaded and two outs
in the top of the second, Ocasio singled
to knock in Justine McLean, then
Kayli Kvistad walked with the bases
loaded to score Amanda Lorenz and
make it 3-1.
Knighten’s big hit in the bottom
of the second put Oklahoma up 5-3.
Florida’s Chelsea Herndon came back
with a solo blast in the third to cut
Oklahoma’s lead to 5-4.
Continued from 1B
lead, she retired Florida’s Nos. 2-4
hitters in order in the seventh.
Top-seeded Florida (58-10) did not
allow an earned run in three games to
reach the championship series, but the
Sooners were able to break through
against what statistically was the
nation’s best pitching staff.

MEYERS:
Continued from 1B
more offensively than I have
in the past. I’ve been trying
to push myself and I’m going
to get in the gym with (HHS
athletic director) Larry Usher
this summer and push myself
to be more of an offensive
threat.”
She won’t be the only
local athlete suiting up for
the Timberwolves though,
as Umatilla’s do-it-all guard
Aleesha Watson also signed
with the program, which has
Meyers excited to get started.
“What excites me is there
are only two returners and
(Driver) has been looking
at girls around here which
is nice because in the past
there hasn’t been many from
Hermiston or Pendleton,”
Meyers said. “I’m excited to
play with (Watson) because
I know her. The two girls
returning are really good and
I’m excited, maybe we’ll
build a bond to bring up more
girls from local teams and
make it bigger and better.”
What excites Meyers the
most, though, is the oppor-
tunity to pursue a dream and
remain close to home. Her
younger sister, Regan, will be
a senior at Hermiston starting
in the fall and Hayden wants
to be there every step of the
way.
“I’d like to watch all of
her senior nights because
she got to see all of mine,”
Meyers said, “so staying
close to home was really
important to me. We’re like
best friends, so that was the
big push to BMCC and not
another community college.”
