Report: Kaepernick’s agents requested permission to seek trade

Kaepernick's agents requested permission to seek trade On Thursday evening, about seven hours after Kelly had painted a rosy picture, the NFL Network reported Kaepernick's agents have requested permission from the 49ers to seek a trade. The news came after Kelly said he'd had multiple conversations with Kaepernick since he was hired last month and believed he was eager to start a sixth season with the 49ers based on those talks. He expressed to me that he's excited about getting healthy and getting going. Kelly was reminded that Kaepernick has undergone three surgeries since late November and each was performed at the Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colo., where he has been rehabbing this offseason. "Guys, you keep going back to the same old s—," Baalke said. [...] the bottom line is all these guys — right now that are under contract — are under contract.
