Kyle Shanahan, 49ers could target Matt Schaub as backup, bridge QB

The San Francisco 49ers have decisions to make at quarterback, and could enter free agency with zero quarterbacks on the roster. Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder, and Thad Lewis are all due to hit free agency. Colin Kaepernick is under contract for 2017, but is expected to opt out and become a free agent.

Earlier this week, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said it would be no surprise to see quarterback Matt Schaub potentially follow Shanahan to Santa Clara. On Sunday, he tweeted that sources told him Schaub “could” follow Shanahan.
