What money? He is being paid 18 million and it goes up from there. It isn't well known....you just think he is a bargain because you love him so much.

When did I ever call him a bargain? You seem to be arguing with ghosts. Hate it when other posters butt into conversations that they aren't apart of.

It is a public forum and you replied to me....get off your high horse.

Would Payton want Kaep back? I know Chip Kelly would. I still feel its gonna be Chip Kelly

Nobody wants Kelly. Trent needs to do 2 things to save his job. Have an A draft and get the best coach on the market.

Then why did the Yorks all the sudden change course on their boy Tomsula once Chip was fired 4 days earlier??

No. He left money on the table so the team would be able to use that free space to get players. They got crap. I mean, this is well known.

What money? He is being paid 18 million and it goes up from there. It isn't well known....you just think he is a bargain because you love him so much.

Don't worry. The days r ticking. Kap and his homers will be gone like Tomsula soon enough

Where did you get the 18 million number from? His contract had very heavy incentives, year to year. I'm pretty sure he'll only count around 12 million to the Kap, since he didn't hit any escalators. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Pretty much 16 mill next year.

All of the "it's just not a smart business move" talk is hilarious. It's NOT YOUR business, it's your favorite football team. If his contract only effects the "business" side of the team, and not the product on the field, who cares...

Do you guys think that Baalke is going to sign "the Dream Team" like Philly a few years back? That worked out great for them, didn't it?

the same people keep yelling from the mountain tops that Kaepernick is not worth 12mil or whatever....and some other posters after hearing that over and over, along with media "reports"/opinions that he will not be here next year bla bla bla...seem to believe it as well.

2015 Kap might not be worth that much, and some can argue about last year... even though far more worse QBs have been paid more.

But a QB who has won in the playoffs....is worth that much. Yall can hate Kap, or maybe you just don't believe in him....but that is the truth. You see these same Top QBs make the playoffs and win none... to maybe one playoff game.

if the new HC or GM feel that this 2015 had more to do with these inexperienced coaches and horrible Oline...than Kaepernick being the reason. Then I'm sure the new people in charge (including Baalke, who might be back..and had his little private convo with Colin) would rather pay Kaepernick regular starter money and see what they really have.....while still trying to see what they have in Gabbert and a draft pick (mid round)

and this is all without taking into consideration that Kaepernick was playing injured because the coaching/medical staff didn't take it serious.

Yall can call me a fanboy or the usual "Kap is gone" responses....and frankly I don't think it matters to Kaepernick if he is gone... but I'm just saying, just don't be too surprised if that is not the case.

this is not a post about what we should do...and you shouldn't respond with what you would do.... but more so what do you think the next Head Coach who needs to look out for himself, would do.

"There are some coaching candidates who believe Colin Kaepernick is salvageable & could once again be an elite QB."
