Sakamoto: Colin Kaepernick To Opt Out of Contract with 49ers! Blessing In Disguise?

Well, it appears that the writing is on the wall for QB Colin Kaepernick, as he has decided to opt out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers. A player who’s career has been nothing short of volatile, it looks like the marriage between Kap and the Forever Faithful has come to an end.

Am I surprised? Not at all. I expected it. Why? Because at the end of the day, Kaepernick requested a trade, and that left a sour taste inside the locker room. I’m not speaking for all players, but there are players who I’ve spoken with first-hand, who questioned whether Kap wanted to play in San Francisco after requesting out.
