:lmao Adam Shefter "expert" writes that Kaepernick led the 49ers to 3 straight NCF Chamiopnship games.
:lmao too stupid to remember that Alex Smith was the QB for the fist one

Sources: Kaepernick, 49ers agree

Updated: June 4, 2014, 4:04 PM ET
By Adam Schefter (http://search.espn.go.com/adam-schefter/) | ESPN

Colin Kaepernick (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14001/colin-kaepernick) and the San Francisco 49ers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/sf/san-francisco-49ers) reached agreement on a six-year extension worth over $110 million that ties him to the team through 2020, sources told ESPN Insider Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
The deal, worth $61 million guaranteed, makes Kaepernick as one of the NFL's top-10 quarterback and includes a record amount of guaranteed money. He was scheduled to have made $1.073 million this season.
It also is the ultimate sign of confidence that the 49ers have no worries about Kaepernick's role in an off-season incident in Miami that police still are investigating.
The deal for the 26-year-old Kaepernick is expected to have strong implications on potential deals for Cam Newton (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13994/cam-newton), Andy Dalton (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14012/andy-dalton) and Alex Smith (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/8416/alex-smith) this year, along with Andrew Luck (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14874/andrew-luck), Robert Griffin (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14875/robert-griffin) III and Russell Wilson (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14881/russell-wilson) next year, when they are eligible to sign their first NFL contract extensions.

Kaepernick is 21-8 as the 49ers starting quarterback and has led San Francisco to three straight NFC Championship games. > :lmao

Colin Kaepernick, 49ers reach six-year deal extension

http://static.nfl.com/static/content/catch_all/nfl_image/_Rosenthal1-65x90.jpg



By Gregg Rosenthal




Kaepernick, 49ers reach six-year extension worth up to $126M

Less than two years ago, Colin Kaepernick (http://www.nfl.com/player/colinkaepernick/2495186/profile) was an unknown commodity, a backup quarterback behind a division champion starter. Now Kaepernick is a true franchise quarterback, with the contract to prove it.





NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports that Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) have agreed to terms on a six-year extension through 2020, according to a source. Kaepernick will earn up to $126 million, with $61 million guaranteed. Kaepernick was entering the final year of his rookie contract, which was set to pay him under $1 million. The deal was completed in only one day of negotiations.
Coach Jim Harbaugh (http://www.nfl.com/player/jimharbaugh/2515790/profile) has publicly campaigned for Kaepernick to get a new deal this offseason, the first year that he was eligible for a new deal. The team and Kaepernick had previously tabled contract talks (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000342157/article/niners-table-contract-talks-with-colin-kaepernick) while police investigated an April incident involving Kaepernick at a Miami hotel. This deal speaks louder than Harbaugh's public support ever could; the 49ers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) want Kaepernick being their team leader for the foreseeable future as they move into their brand new Levi's Stadium.
During an offseason where Harbaugh's future with the organization has been in question, Kaepernick's contract provides stability. No matter what happens in the future with Harbaugh, the 49ers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) have a strong core of Pro Bowl (http://www.nfl.com/probowl) players to build around.
The scary part -- for the league and for San Francisco -- is that Kaepernick remains an unfinished product. He has rare tools with his arm strength and speed. For entire games, he can look like the future of the quarterback position and make analysts fall dangerously in love (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000232658/article/colin-kaepernick-flattered-by-ron-jaworskis-praise).
He can also look like a work in progress. 49ers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) legend Steve Young noted this week (http://espn.go.com/blog/san-francisco-49ers/post/_/id/7473/steve-youngs-advice-for-kaepernick) on ESPN that Kaepernick needs to improve at going through his progressions and staying in the pocket more. Young believes Kaepernick looks to run too often after his first read goes away.


Kaepernick's desire to be great is one reason the 49ers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) are so confident he'll be worth all the money. The 49ers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) have made the Super Bowl (http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/48) and NFC title game the last two years with Kaepernick early in his development. The weapons around Kaepernick have only improved this offseason, and the 49ers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) figure to lean more on their passing game this year.
Whether Kaepernick turns into a top-five NFL quarterback or if he "only" hangs around as an above-average starter, this was a deal the 49ers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) had to make. Quarterbacks take up a growing percentage of NFL salary caps, but they are still underpaid for their overall value to the organization. (Just imagine how much Kaepernick would get if he actually made it to free agency.)
The 49ers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) know what it's like to be searching the NFL wilderness for a quarterback to believe in. They don't have to worry about that for a long time.

If he can stay healthy the whole year (and don't be surprised if he does because winning magically makes you want to continue to play) and produce, then he'll get his. We also got Sydney Rice back and have Baldwin extended for 3 years so WR is set even by the time Paul Richardson is up for a new deal if he proves to be worth the time.


Seahawks aren't going to worry about Lynch. When he's up for free agency he's going to be a 30 year old running back He'll be 30 and I'm certain he'd take a pay cut to stay within the Emerald City. I don't see a heir apparent in Michel, so this might a RB by committee in the future years.

Holy crap at the meltdown in this thread

A) The Cap continues to increase. This deal will look like a bargain in a few seasons

And that's a principle reason why the QB market is disturbingly inflated. These guys are making the Ravens look like geniuses for signing Flacco for only $20 Million a year. But when Luck and Wilson (damn, especially Wilson) get $25M/year, Kaep's will indeed look like a bargain.


B) Ownership is paying out of their pocket (guaranteed money) so the base salary remains low

That's actually a terrible thing. You want high base salaries relative to bonus money. It makes it easier to cut a player. Even if the salary is guaranteed, it makes it easier to trade the player.


C) The option was sign Kaep long term or draft a replacement next year

Yeah, after the Niners failed to develop a quarterback over the last two years. It's just like the Ravens with Flacco. The QBs are getting inflated value because their teams only have crap behind them.


D) This is the going rate for playoff starting QBs

See my answer to A). It's only the going rate because teams keep paying that much for them. SanFran had the chance to be the franchise that didn't get caught up in this stupid QB bubble. Instead, we have to hope Seattle can buck the trend.


E) I was against resigning Kaep this off season but the way the contract is structured, I like it.

Yeah, it's not all that bad in terms of guarantees. I don't see them cutting him any time soon, though, which means he'll probably get enough of the money to mess up the Niners' cap and drop them out of contention.

It's just like the Ravens with Flacco. The QBs are getting inflated value because their teams only have crap behind them.See my answer to A). It's only the going rate because teams keep paying that much for them. SanFran had the chance to be the franchise that didn't get caught up in this stupid QB bubble. Instead, we have to hope Seattle can buck the trend.Yeah, it's not all that bad in terms of guarantees. I don't see them cutting him any time soon, though, which means he'll probably get enough of the money to mess up the Niners' cap and drop them out of contention.If the 49ers don't find Gore's replacement & Kaep fails to progress, your forecast could come true in a few years
