ESPN: Kaepernick to opt out of 49ers contract, enter free agency
San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick will reportedly be a free agent Thursday.
Kaepernick is planning to opt out of the final season of his contract, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
ESPN reports Kaepernick’s contract was originally supposed to keep him with the Niners through 2020, but the team worked with the 29-year-old to revamp it before he reclaimed the starting job in October.
