Agreed. He was good under Harbaugh but still has a sub par record. I was surprised that he got a settlement from the NFL.
F - him. If he really wanted to stay in the NFl, he could have.

He didn't turn any 49ers offer down. He opted out because they were planning to cut him. Kyle Shanahan then brought in his own QB (Brian Hoyer) and drafted a QB (C.J. Beathard).
49ers GM is OK with Kaepernick opting out
If Colin Kaepernick had not decided to opt out of his contract, the 49ers would have released the QB.
The 49ers didn't give Kaepernick a choice to return. How do I know? John Lynch said it:

"Brian Hoyer was one of the guys we pursued. Once we pursued him, we didn't see Kap as a backup that would really fit in that scheme and we communicated that to him. So I think we've been very up front with it. But I think that is a fair characterization. Yes, he was not going to be here under the construct of his contract. We gave him the option: 'You can opt out, we can release you, whatever.' And he chose to opt out, but that was just a formality."The 49ers would've cut Colin Kaepernick if he hadn't opted out of his contract

Colin Kaepernick Has Reportedly Turned Down Offers to Serve as Backup | FOX Sports Radio
The Daily Caller reported that Kaepernick turned down a contract, and Clay has some theories about it.
But, the NFLPA refutes it. So you are correct.
Nfl ownership is still a good ol boys club and Kap publicly sued them. He didn’t win but he didn’t lose either and they paid him to make it stop. Does he really believe these guys are willing to let bygones be bygones and welcome him back cuz I don’t. Whatever you call it, collusion, blackballing, I don’t see it. Maybe if he were tearing it up in one of these other leagues he could work his way back in but he’s in his 30’s and he hasn’t played in 4 years. If he was serious he should’ve stayed connected however he could, guys like McCown and Gabbert are known quantities who continue to get jobs. I don’t know if he was willing to be a guy like that.
Will Tim Tebow also be trying out…maybe as a punter this time?
He wants to be back in the spotlight. Misses being the big thing about town.
I agree here, I would sign him, but again, I always liked his game. I think he would be at the very minimum an excellent backup QB, as long as he can still run. But I understand I'm in the minority because before everything happened after he wrote Dear Evan Hansen, I felt Kaepernick had some game.
Yeah... He's not worth it. Locking this thread and if something ACTUALLY HAPPENS, we can open it back up.
It seems every year, this douchebag has his look at me rumblings yet nothing happens.
All I'm seeing here is the same shit - different year.
