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.

“I would play him, but have the linemen not protect him after the center gives him the ball.”

The whole article is about NOT letting him get injured and NOT having to pay $14.7 million for an injured player.

“If a boss tells you to stand for The National Anthem, that’s what you do. I don’t care what your job is....you know the expectations when you are hired.”

The ‘boss’ said it was okay if he did NOT stand ...

As long as he is part of their Team, its No9ers for me.

Anti-American moslem scum. Hope he gets a career-ending blow.

[bgill]

All the bubble wrap in the world won’t stop the gimme dat low life scum muzzy from staging an injury in the showers or sidelines.

[Nifster]

Colin was done even before current antics. The team and coach made him look good. As coach and team went their ways his lack of ability became apparent

Bench the Muzzie.

Worth every cent, if he is crippled for life.

NFL Star Colin Kaepernick COVERTS TO ISLAM . . . So That He Can MARRY ARAB Girlfriend!!! July 7, 2016: NFL star Colin Kaepernick is transitioning to become a Muslim, according to people close to the player. One of Kaps homies tells MediaTakeOut.com that Colin’s girlfriend, Hot 97 DJ Nessa, introduced him to the teachings of Islam – and he’s ready to embrace it fully. If you think there’s MORE to Colin’s religious conversion than just spirituality, you may be right. We’re told that Colin plans on popping the question to Nessa VERY soon – and is hoping that they can have a traditional Muslim wedding/marriage. http://mtonews.com/mto-exclusive-nfl-star-colin-kaeperneck-coverts-islam-can-marry-arab-girlfriend/

Wouldn't it be a hoot if this piggish stunt cost him his career? Then it would be back to the carwash for him...$8/hr plus tips.

looks like the wife is a hoochie too, just wanting to create media distractions... This is what we received in out tip box today about Colin Kaepernick’s new fling “If you want to know more about Nessa from hot97 here is some info. 1st off Nobody barely knew Nessa before the story was made about her dating two players from the same team: Colin k and Aldon smith. Nobody really knows where Nessa is from or her age or birthday, she refuses to make a Wikipedia page because she says it’ll be better for her career that people don’t know her age or how she got started. She popped up in the bay claiming to be from southern Cali, not la or Irvine she always says southern ca. Many years ago made her way on radio nobody knows how she got the gig because her voice is annoying and she had no experience in journalism and she didn’t intern at the radio station like most djs. Recently she made the blogs for dating two of the top players and she couldn’t wait to talk about this story on her show that day and it made good ratings btw. She waited until the last few minutes of her show to address the story with Aldon and Colin because she knew listeners would tune in and wait to hear about it. Nessa is no stranger to gossip so her being shocked is all an ACT. She use to do the same type of stories at wild979. Even shading Colin kaepernick for playing bad on the field!” http://terezowens.com/truth-about-colin-aldons-shared-girl-from-hot-97/

Half his body is covered in Christian tattoos. Hope it hurts when he has to replace them with muzzy ones.

Will Jaguar and Nike keep him on?

Blaming a faith, a nation or a GROUP of people is foolish beyond permission.

ASSHOLES exist.
They exist in EVERY culture, country and ethnic population on the planet in ALL of human history.

This asshole will be BOOED beyond belief. Folks will throw ALL kinds of stuff at him.
If he still doesn't get the point, his car will end up in the ocean.
If he still doesn't get the point, the game advertisers will start hearing from the public....THE OLE "BOTTOM LINE."

In the end he will either:
1. Stand during the national anthem,
2. come out to the field AFTER the national anthem
3. get traded.

EVERYONE stands for whatever national anthem is being played. This asshole ain't got no respect.

.

He will learn the hard way, STUPID asshole that he is.

[Dustoff45]

I don’t think they want him even on the sideline. I wouldn’t either.

He has a new job, keeping the bench warm, for that they will pay him his contract.

[IamConservative]

He converted to Islam and his girlfriend is a BLM activist. Appears he is being radicalized. According to Democrats, he should not be able to fly or possess firearms.
