49ers preparing to put Colin Kaepernick ‘on ice’ in 2016?

At least two prominent NFL reporters believe the San Francisco 49ers could pull a RG3 on quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who could be protected in 2016 so the 49ers can save millions against injuries guarantees next offseason.

Albert Breer of MMQB became the latest national reporter to weigh in on Kaepernick Thursday morning.

“Colin Kaepernick’s injury history, combined with the heavy injury guarantees in his contract, would be a motivator to put him on ice for the year if the team isn’t sold he’ll rebound in Chip Kelly’s offense,” Breer wrote. “The Redskins pulled something similar last year—they knew Robert Griffin III wasn’t their guy, so they didn’t risk putting him on the field and triggering his 2016 injury guarantee.”

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk openly wondered the same idea on Monday.

“Absent a trade or a willingness to pay Kaepernick a lot of money to go away, the 49ers have the RGIII option at their disposal,” Florio said. “That would entail putting Kaepernick on the bench and keeping him in bubble wrap so that, come 2017, they won’t be strapped with a fully-guaranteed $14.5 million obligation that can’t be avoided before April 1 if he’s injured, again.”

Unless Chip Kelly fully believes in Kaepernick moving forward (and that’s a debatable premise, given his current standing in a starting battle with Blaine Gabbert, of all quarterbacks), the 49ers could protect themselves by shelving the former second-round pick as a third-stringer and then cutting Kaepernick before his $14.5 million becomes fully guaranteed on April 1st of 2017. Of course, if he’s injured at that time, the 49ers won’t have the option.

The Redskins played the same card on RG3 last season. After he suffered a concussion during the preseason, Washington all but shut down his season—stashing him behind Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy to protect him from another injury. His healthy season allowed the Redskins to part ways without the financial repercussions of his fifth-year, injury-guaranteed salary kicking in.

A tricky balancing act awaits the 49ers over the next few weeks. Kaepernick has been out while dealing with a “dead arm” issue, which has robbed Kelly and his staff of valuable time in the evaluation process. At some point soon, the 49ers will need to decide if Kaepernick is worth risking during the 2016 season. Then again, the franchise has 14,500,000 million reasons to stash him on the bench and set up a clean divorce next offseason.

The NFL has already given him a free pass by saying it’s his freedom of expression not to stand.

That's because the NFL *is* itself a Church/Mosque/Cult. The Commish is the Pope/Imam/Cult Leader.

The #BLM "Hands-Up" supporters were given a free pass last year (or was it the year before?)

Kaepernick's "I-dare-ya!" has just been forgiven by Darth Goodell (who would allow baby sacrifices on the 50 yard line if it meant more revenue for the NFL and its coven of owners.)

“...I plan to ban the 49’s from my home until he is off the team....”

There’s no problem with a Niners ban in my house. I’m a Cowboys fan so naturally, I hate them. In general, I revel in their misery. With this Colin thing, and the Niner approval of his actions, any amount of misery is not enough for me.

I guess Obama didn’t inflect enough change. Converting to Muslim didn’t work so well huh?

[Walrus]

This is America. If you want to say nigger, have at it.

If Kaepernick wants to sit during the national anthem, so be it.

But BOTH of you must be prepared to pay the consequences, whatever they may be.

[Walrus]

Well said, Exeter

[Walrus]

Whoa! Great point, Vinnie.

How do all the Mustafas, Hassans and Mohammeds in the NFL deal with this?

[samantha]

Yes,and he will play the race card in a heartbeat.

FIRE KAP NOW!!!

Excellent!!!

Wonder if that ever occurred to this privileged brat???

Even with the best of parents, kids and young adults can turn on them in a split second and throw everything they were ever taught in the dirt and spit on it. His parents probably feel like he’s kicked them in the gut.
With Nessa’s headlights, he’s not thinking with the head his shoulders are holding up.

All true.
Also, I don't think that we ever get the entire story. Events don't just happen. There is always the history to explain the why.

History is supposed to teach us who we are and why we are the way we are. But, even knowing all that, people STILL don't think with the head their shoulders are holding up.

After the first week, fans gave Michael Vick a pass on his dog fighting. Even today, it’s all “ooooh, he’s paid his due so let’s play some football!”
Look at all the NFL druggies and wife beaters. Pat them on the head and send them onto the field with cheers from the crowd.
You and I would be disgraced forever.

Maybe so.

Wherever I've gone in the world and I attend a sporting event, I ALWAYS showed my respect by standing and showing some respect to the country I am visiting.
It's part of MY upbringing and I won't demean myself by sinking to the level of a moron like Colin Kaepernick.

I don’t know your age so ...

The way I see it is he has allowed his little head to make some very big decisions...
I am old but I remember some really stupid stuff I did for the “Love of My Life” dejour ...

He may just be STUPID and then he can play the Handicap Card right after the Black muslim Card, (Double Down)... It is working very well in Germany... Merkel will take care of him. He could be a refugee that brought his own money.. he could be a Hero all over again

Controversy Erupts After NFL Quarterback Converts To Islam and Refuses To Stand for National Anthem…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/08/27/controversy-erupts-after-nfl-quarterback-converts-to-islam-and-refuses-to-stand-for-national-anthem/

From the link (worth going to original link for more info):

During the off-season Colin Kaepernick converted to Islam. Colin Kaepernick is also engaged to Black Lives Matter activist and hip-hop radio personality DJ Nessa Diab. Black Lives Matter as an activist group is synonymous with promotion of authentic Islam.

In the social justice arena, there is no daylight between the various BLM activism groups, and activist Islam. They are interwoven amid every controversial eruption over the past six years. We have tried to draw attention to it numerous times, but many don’t fully grasp the scope of the relationship between radical Islam and Black Lives Matter. It’s a symbiosis, a complete synergy in activism and intent.

According to NFL players who are friends with Kaepernick, Colin and NessA Diab are going to have a traditional Muslim wedding.

I can't stand the NFL, the commentators are liberal, ESPN is off-the-hook liberal, and Payton is beyond reproach while Brady is evil incarnate.

Last year I only watched games Brady played in because he is the Goat, I don't even watch our local team. I will continue to watch Brady unless they play the 49'ers but then will hope and pray he beats this un-american ass

[cloudmountain]

I'm old.
Colin Kaepernick will pay for this one day...when the advertisers DON'T rush to him for sponsorship.

Hero? That is an INSULT to real heroes in the world. He is an ahole of the first caliber, insulting his/our flag for the ENTIRE world to see. What goes around comes round Always does.

****”What goes around comes round Always does”****

Lets hope for sooner rather than later

Lets hope for sooner rather tha1n later

OH YES!

I asked the question about consequences of saying the "n" word versus those who would race-bait whites.
The answer I got from the UBER liberals was that the balance of power was so very skewed towards the whites and against blacks and Latinos (The Asians are simply not considered part of the formula.) that the formerly oppressed ARE ALLOWED latitude in THEIR expression of racism...or in this case, anti-Americanism.

That was SO wrong I just shook my head and walked away.
