so whats the market for Kap?

Don't know, but I really don't care. You don't let great talent just walk out the door for nothing. Demand no less than 2 1st and 2 2nd's to run teams off, or teams will just have to wait until his contract expires and hope we don't franchise him if he plays well this season. I know I'm in the minority about this based off the comments I'm reading, but I really don't give a damn. I have no love for our FO I think they are a bunch of immature petulant children full of hubris. But you just don't let good talent just walk out the door because they're unhappy. Don't work that way. Don't know if fans here have realized but NFL QB's are expensive commodities, and they don't grow on trees, and you can't exactly find that kind of employee on Linkedin or Indeed.

As it stands the 49ers have all the leverage and don't have to do anything. Plus, there isn't another QB on the 49ers roster with his talent nor resume. Even with the bad season Kaep remains our best option for Chips offense. The best thing the 49ers should do is make Kaep play out his contract, draft a QB with our first pick, and let him sit behind Kaep for a season (or Kaep and Gabbert). This is the best play for the team because it allows the team to groom a top talent without having to force a rookie into action.

But by no means should we trade Kaep, no matter how disgruntled. IMHO

The last thing the locker room needs is a cancer. IF Kaep really wants out that's all he is at this point.

A cancer Kaep has no history as a cancer! Nor will he be if he's not traded.

No, all that says is that the 49ers want to maintain the pretense of keeping him to try and get max compensation in a trade.

Once a guy starts talking about wanting to be traded and his agents make it public, its passed the point of trying to make it work. Kaepernick's agents will keep talking about wanting a trade, the 49ers will keep pushing the "well we just think he's the greatest" angle until they can find suitable trade compensation.

See if the browns will entertain trading their first round pick for Kap

A little birdie says if Baalke committed to Kaepernick as the unequivocal starter for 2016, the agents for Kaep would not have made such a request.

Haven't read through to see if this was brought up but it is pretty apparent.

Kap did beat the Cardinals for 7 times. Yep we had a great defense that we beat them cuz Cardinals defense was process time yet. Now we are not a great defense then kap can win but he cant. Cardinals was pretty good defense than few years ago. Cardinals did beat to kap for two times at 2015.


I am not denying. I want true with everything my exactly cuz i know about football. I know about win games and football that it is easy for me.

What are you talking about? Kaep lost once this year to the Cards. All those other times Kaep won..it was the defense? LMAO

And with this post, I'm out.

Are you laughing? Sure. Go ahead. If we will trade kap to Cleveland Browns team if Kap will wins and his team stink defense then kap will win? but he cant. Wanna bet? I am sure that u are joking cuz u are proud for black guy than white guys. It is ur dream as wish. Good for u cuz ure still laugh. I am praying that ure laugh if ure proud for black guys than white, mexico and asian? God will watch ur mouth.

I come back to visit the forum and check in on what's being said about this situation and surprisingly interesting takes here.

But you BuZz... not sure if English is your 4th or 5th language or just trolling, but you have a way to crack me up or frustrate the hell out of me. Today luckily, I'm having a good read trying to decipher your code.

Those guys are so invested in the anti-Chip Kelly agenda that they can't help themselves.

So why should the team make that kind of commitment? Just to appease Kap? He hasn't earned that kind of commitment from the team.

All he has to do is say his hand really hurts and he can't throw the ball. What is the team going to do give him $11.9m to sit the bench?

2017 - $14.5m fully guaranteed after 4/1/17
2018 - $5.2m fully guaranteed after 4/1/18
2019 - Base salary $16.8m
2020 - Base salary $19m

Could get real ugly for both sides if they don't want to play nice.

If he isn't healthy by April 1st then there is no advantage to cutting him for the remainder of the year. They could RG3 him and make him sit on the bench.

So you want the team to give him his guaranteed money of $11.9m to be the 2nd string QB?
