Colin Kaepernick might very well be available this offseason

We're talking about a 2nd rounder for a QB who has big time playoff experience and a ton of raw talent. Get him in a more conservative scheme (ie don't have him throw all the time like the end of last season) and let him move around a bit, and we're a playoff team. You think we could get a more impactful player for a 2nd round pick? Bryce Petty? Would you change your position on the trade if we addressed the OLine in free agency?

You only pay that contract year to year I think. We may lose Hughes but we will sign Dareus. We may be able to get both and more. The cap is going up 10m. We could have 35-40 m in space fairly easy.

 

Having Pegula is going to make the keeping and signing of players much easier. Of course there is a cap. But in ten minutes he could get 10m in cap space, converting Mario or other contracts to bonus money and just paying him cash.

 

This is going to be such a luxury.

I'll be honest about this, I live 5 miles from Levi's stadium and see a lot of the 49er's. They have Jack squat for wide receivers. Crabtree is very overrated in the media. Only Boldin would crack our top 3 (and Sammy is an upgraded version of Boldin). They still made it to the NFC title game 3 years in a row with 1 older running back, an ok tight end, Boldin and an average WR (Crabtree). Kaepernick is definitely worth a number 2 pick. It would be THE BEST POSSIBLE OPTION BY FAR for us with respect to aquiring a QB in my opinion.

Agreed. My eyeballs have told me the same thing. They get no separation. Against a team like Seattle it is laughable, Kaepernick has no one to throw to and is running for his life.

Time to play "Guess the QB". Can you name the QB who had remarkably similar passing stats to Kaepernick in 2014?

That's just like, your opinion, man.

Great Lebowski quote!! Well played!!

Soooo.. What is the 49ers pan if they indeed trade Kaep? Shouldn't they have a viable option before getting rid of the guy who had one good and one below average year? Knowing how difficult it is to even get a half way decent QB, getting rid of even an (average) QB without a replacement makes little sense

True. That is why any trade this off season for QB is most likely not going to happen. Unfortunately that includes Bradford. St. Louis doesn't have a better option either.

He's not dumb. Far from it, actually. He got caught up being a celebrity this season, hopefully he'll realize he's got work to do. I'd love him here.

 

Football players that are "caught up being a celebrity" are by definition dumb.

 

Not to mention, very few of them ever decide to stop being caught up in being a celebrity.

Do bonuses still count against the cap?
