2017 NFL Free Agency: Quarterbacks Who Could Move To New Teams
By Erik Lambert
Colin Kaepernick
Method: Free Agent
The latest rumors out of San Francisco are that the 49ers are about at the end of their rope with Colin Kaepernick. GM Trent Baalke is content to move on from the former rising star, especially after his month-long controversy involving the national anthem. However head coach Chip Kelly is still holding out hope that he can develop the 28-year old within his offense given his unique physical traits from the running ability to his powerful arm. Still it’s hard seeing him ever get another chance on that team.
Landing spot: New York Jets
Ryan Fitzpatrick is likely in his last season under center for the Jets, and there are few guarantees that Christian Hackenberg will develop into the player they hope he can be. Kaepernick might be a worthwhile risk, especially since Chan Gailey is the offensive coordinator. This is the same man who turned Kordell Stewart into a Pro Bowler. He knows how to use dual-threat types. Of course it all depends on just how interested Kaepernick is in continuing his career.
