With the Alouettes in general, and Darian Durant in particular, struggling this season, fans are dreaming about the possibility of Colin Kaepernick eventually playing for Montreal.

While the Als placed the controversial quarterback on their negotiation list about a month ago, providing them with his exclusive Canadian Football League rights, nothing’s imminent according to general manager Kavis Reed. And it might be nothing more than wishful thinking at this time.

After Tuesday’s practice, Reed admitted he has reached out to Kaepernick’s agent, basically to inform him of the situation, but has never spoken to the former San Francisco 49er. Kaepernick hasn’t been invited to Montreal, either for a visit or to work out for the team, Reed quickly added.

“He’s in the midst of some very important things,” Reed said. “We understand there’s a movement going on around him. We’re doing our due diligence and making certain they know we want to see where he’s at. It’s a matter of kicking the tires at this stage.
