49ers’ Lynch: Kaepernick nearly signed with another team, but deal fell through

Colin Kaepernick's free-agent market is so quiet you can hear a knee a drop.

We're only a week or so into free agency and there still are a number of teams in search of both starting and backup quarterbacks, so something could change quickly. But other quarterbacks with flimsier resumes were hungrily snapped up at the start of free agency, and you have to wonder why Kaepernick, who won four playoff games over his career -- three of them on the road -- remains at home waiting for his phone to ring.

Apparently it rung once last week.
