Kyle Shanahan does not close door on Colin Kaepernick, but makes one thing pretty clear

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is expected to formally opt out of his contract sometime between today and March 7th. His agents have informed teams he will make the move, and so once it happens, he will enter free agency with the rest of the unrestricted free agents next week.

The 49ers will enter free agency with zero quarterbacks under contract. Head coach Kyle Shanahan told the media on Wednesday he feels pretty good about the film they have studied for their own players. The team is moving on to preparing for free agency and the draft, and most notably that will include figuring out options at quarterback.
