On Tuesday, it was reported by Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was interested in joining the Jets. The article stated that, according to a source, he wants out of San Francisco and in with New York. Mehta even stated that the "Jets are aware and intrigued by Kaepernick's desire to play for them." Of course, any interest could spark tampering violations by the league.

There were even reports that his reported girlfriend, Nessa Diab, a Hot 97 host that resides in New York, wanted Kaepernick there and that the desired move was so the two could be closer.

On Wednesday, the original report was debunked by Dom Cosentino of New Jersey On-Line who, according to another anonymous source familiar with the situation, stated that the report was untrue. The source called the report a "Random, strange article."

Since then, according to various sources, the desire might be rather one sided. While it is possible that Kaepernick may have a desire to leave the 49ers, the Jets are reportedly uninterested. Besides, the Jets have cap issues and Kaepernick's base salary of $11.9 million becomes fully gauranteed on April 1.

That didn't stop the New York Daily News from making the report their cover story on Wednesday. Here is what that cover looked like. Of course, in their defense, the issue was likely released prior to the other reports.



The Jets are interested in re-signing 2015 starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is a pending free agent. Both Fitzpatrick and the Jets have stated that they want to work a deal out that will keep the quarterback in New York. At this point, according to reports, it seems highly likely that a deal happens.

New York's top receiver, Brandon Marshall, voiced his opinion on a Kaepernick to New York rumors, saying that he was fine with the Jets' current quarterback situation. "I don't want Kaepernick," Marshall stated Tuesday on ESPN's First Take. "I think he's good, but my guy is [Ryan Fitzpatrick], it's nothing against Kaepernick – and Geno [Smith] is still my guy too. What I am saying is that I have my quarterbacks and I am good."

CBS' Jason La Canfora chimed in on the Kaepernick situation, saying that the 49ers quarterback has wanted out for some time and that he believes a trade is still possible. However, he did not state that the Jets were a likely trade partner.





Kaepernick started the 2015 season as the starting quarterback for San Francisco, but poor play eventually led to his benching in favor of Blaine Gabbert. He was then placed on injured reserve when a shoulder injury came into light. Kaepernick is recovering from multiple surgeries. While none are expected to be long-term issues, he has had surgeries on his left shoulder, thumb and knee since being placed on injured reserve.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan jumped on a conference call with reporters on Friday afternoon, the day after the team's 30-12 win over the New York Giants. Shanahan provided several injury updates. Linebackers Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and Dre Greenlaw emerged from Thursday night's game with low-ankle sprains. Both are day-to-day. The good news is that players have some extra time off before returning to work on Monday, when the 49ers begin preparing for the Arizona Cardinals. The only other player who was banged up in the Week 3 contest is wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The 49ers initially feared a rib injury, but

Kyle Shanahan reveals how 49ers will plan for new-look Rams

The San Francisco 49ers had a dominant Week 1 performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, kicking off the 2023 NFL season with a 30-7 win, picking up right where they left off with quarterback Brock Purdy healthy again following a torn UCL that ended his season in the NFC Championship Game last year. The 49ers were dominant to begin, shutting out the Pittsburgh Steelers on their first five drives with three-and-outs, while scoring on each of their first four opportunities, creating a quick 20-0 lead in the second quarter. However, the 49ers weren't the only team in the division to start strong, as the Los Angeles Rams easily defeated the Seattle Seahawks 30-13, riding the wave of quarterback Matthew Stafford, who, like Purdy, is back healthy for the 2023

Anthony Brown eager to help new 49ers teammates beat Giants

The San Francisco 49ers signed Anthony Brown this week, and the cornerback is ready to help his new teammates defeat the New York Giants. However, that help may not come from Brown taking the field on Thursday night. Brown spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, so he is familiar with the Niners' upcoming opponent, having played in the NFC East for many years. Brown was a starter for Dallas until suffering a torn Achilles in December. "Just getting here, so I'm just trying to basically tell the guys as much as I can, and if they have any questions on little tips and little pointers," Brown told Larry Krueger this week. "The Giants pretty much show up every week in their game plan, and trying to help the corners and DBs as much as I
