The second day of the NFL Combine kicked off with word that Colin Kaepernick is opting out of his contract, and the New England Patriots are not going to trade Jimmy Garoppolo. The former is all but settled, while the latter might be more about establishing the market.
If Garoppolo ends up not being dealt, it could bode well for the Cincinnati Bengals and quarterback A.J. McCarron s. Andy Dalton’s backup is available via trade, but the Bengals are prepared to play hard ball. Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin met with the media Wednesday morning in Indianapolis, and he made it clear he will not give up McCarron for nothing.
