Colin Kaepernick is reportedly planning to opt out of his contract after the 2016 season and become a free agent.

Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers agreed to a restructured contract earlier in the year, and the new deal includes a player option for 2017 and a guarantee that the Niners cannot use the franchise tag on him. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Kaepernick will void the deal, though he could end up returning to San Francisco.

Fans from any other team would not stand for mister kaepernick's addition to the roster.

Advertisers would am-scray

Mister kaepernick has succeeded in making himself "toxic".

The 49’ers found a way to get rid of him and make him think it was his idea. The genius hasn’t figured it out yet though. Two thumbs up...

That’s why they’re not the Dallas Texans anymore.

Doesn’t Argentina have a farm league? Or was it Bolivia?

Maybe he could be the QB of a new BLM-inspired football team, the Louisville Looters or the Ferguson Flag Burners.

After today’s performance (1/5 for 4 yards, benched for Blaine Gabbert), I doubt anyone cares.

Maybe Jacksonville will relocate to Mexico City - Kaepernick would be a natural QB and city hero :)

I see Kawasaki Steel Ox, of the Japan Industrial American Football League (the X-League), in his future.

WTF is he opting out? He’ll never get that kind of contract now!

I have never heard anything said by the family that raised him. I wonder what they think?

His birth mother entered the fray when he became famous as a rookie and I gathered that there wasn’t much love lost on his side.

I have never heard anything from him about those who raised him.

Well, if no one picks him up it proves the whole league is racist. /s

It’s quite a downgrade to go to the CFL. Salaries are very small. The crowds and stadiums are small. The CFL is where NFL cuts go but yeah no US anthem. They do play the Canadian one though.

“Just who would pick him up?”

No one, you can’t pick up a turd by the “clean end.”

What a waste this guy is. I always thought he was an egotistical jerk but that could have been somewhat forgiven.

They don’t want him in left wing San Francisco. Guess he could play for the Redskins or be Brady’s backup in Boston.
