Because the organization was failing Alex Smith, in this case Kaepernick was failing the organization.


IMHO.

Kap coming back next year. Prepare your body.

I certainly hope not. The best things for his career is to get away from the 49er organization and with another team.

That's stupid. All his surgeries have been estimated to heal right before that April first date. Sounds to me it's more like he's trying to be fully healthy to compete for the Niners or be traded to another team. He could have easily waited to get surgery later to guarantee he'd still be recovering after that April 1st date but he didn't.

Was listening to 680 this morning on my drive. Just heard that kaepernick went and got another "random" MRI and now may need to have surgery on his right thumb which will could cause him to fail his upcoming physical and cost the 49ers 12million because they planned to waive him after the physical.

The hosts of the show talked about how they believe it's a ploy by kaepernicks agent suggesting his agent has already reached out to multiple teams in hopes of a team wanting to pick him up, but no team is biting at all or interested in kap... Therefore they think this is just a way for his agent and kap to collect the money..

Dude played through all these injuries and never complained.

Until he was bench and possibly lose 16 mil

This, As was said by Fitz on KNBR, agent probably found no teams willing to take him. So, only way to get paid is being injured on April 1st so niners cant cut him.

and when did his agent talk to other teams about a trade? All this morning?

I swear just a bunch of delusional conclusions to justify hate for the guy... be it as a QB or a person.

On top of that, doing this would be a violation of contract and place the physician at risk for fraud.

After the hits Kaep was gifted by the three stooges (Deevey Martin and Pears), I'm surprised he can still feel his arms and legs.

How many times have we seen millions of trades happen the day trade day opens.

Or what about free agency? No ones allowed to talk to the free agents before free agency opens up yet the first day of free agency millions of players get signed. These dudes are all in contact with each other wether they are supposed to be or not

Does the injury have to be career ending for Kaep to be compensated? That was my understanding. If he's injured but not career ending, like thumb injury may not be, then the Niners can still cut him before April.

Those guys your talking about having "delusional hate" for kaepernick used to suck kaepernicks jock strap on that radio show and bash alex smith when kap took over. So........

i wouldn't doubt it. that's a lot of money that the agent is due for.

if there are any "complications" that come up soon, then i'll start to wonder.

Unless he has a brain transplant scheduled, so he can read defenses and coverages, he can be someone else's problem next year. For the sake of the team, hopefully that is what happens.

I think your definition of bad differs from most people, he was ranked 20th in QBR, most people would call that bad since it is below average.

14th last year.

Ahead of Alex Smith, Cam Newton, Ryan Tannehill, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Andy Dalton, Matt Stafford, Derek Carr.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/qbr/_/year/2014

The guy that was terrible last year, the athlete playing QB had the 14th best QBR playing in the toughest division in football.

In 2015 your boy Gabbert is 30th. BEHIND Kaep. Please...spin away.

QBR

The teams can talk about trades all the time, so not surprising that trades happen as soon as they open.

An unrestricted free agent by definition can also hold discussions with teams. They, by definition, are unrestricted free agents because their contract has ended and they are no longer under contract so they are free to talk with who ever they want to. Same with undrafted free agents. No restrictions there.

It is restricted free agents and players under contract that cannot hold such discussions. Teams can hold discussions between themselves about restricted free agents and players under contract. Teams can also grant permission to another team for such discussions (this is done if the team wants to do a trade and the other team wants to renegotiate the contract to make sure that it will happen if the trade occurs)

By the way the penalty when such a discussion takes place is not against the player, it is instead against the team that conducts such discussions. As such teams do stay away from such discussions.

Curious to know who wanted to trade for Kap before or during the season. Because Kap's last chance to be a starter in a system that fit's his abilities disappeared with Chip Kelly's firing.
