Colin Kaepernick cannot opt out of 49ers' contract until March

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick can't opt out of his contract until March 2.

What It Means:

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen, Kaepernick is still expected to do so when he's able, and the official opt-out period is March 2-7. The hirings of new general manager John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan aren't expected to sway that decision. The New York Jets have been mentioned as a potential landing spot for Kaepernick, but there should be plenty of other options.

Kaepernick's Passing Net Expected Points per drop back ranked 28th among the 39 quarterbacks to drop back 100 times this year.
