Colin Kaepernick has opted out of his contract, becoming a free agent.
This was the fully expected move. Kaepernick leaves behind one year and $16.9 million to hit the free-agent market. The 49ers haven't ruled out bringing Kaepernick back, but it seems like a total long shot. The Jets have been rumored to have some interest, while reports out of Cleveland have indicated the Browns will not target him. Kap should be able to compete to start somewhere after a solid second half of last season, throwing 16 touchdowns to four picks.

Who in their right mind would pay him 17 million for a season??? Apparently his math skills match his ability to play QB
