Colin Kaepernick Opts Out of Contract

Colin Kaepernick is a free agent after opting out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers. Kaepernick, a six-year veteran quarterback, drew attention and headlines last season by not standing for the national anthem. He met with the 49ers’ new general manager, John Lynch, and recently hired coach, Kyle Shanahan, before opting out.

Andy Murray reached his second final of the season with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Lucas Pouille at the Dubai Tennis Championships in the United Arab Emirates. Murray, who lost the Qatar Open final to Novak Djokovic in January, will face Fernando Verdasco in Saturday’s final.
