Kind of a shame.
For selfish reasons, I'd prefer they kept a disgruntled Kap and his massive cap hit on the roster.
This may force Baalke out of his own stupidity.

That just a tough situation for all involved. Hilariously funny for us, but a tough situation down there in Santa Clara. I wonder what the hair was that broke the camels back?

The odds of Baalke accepting this trade request are probably somewhere between zilch and none. The clashing egos involved here (Kaepernick, Baalke, York, Kelly) are going to be fun to watch.
Buckle up, Whiner fans. 8)

I don't think kapernicks agents aren't on the approved list to report such things. It is obviously not true

agreed...a lot of attention for a back up qb who probably won't be in the league in a couple years. Maybe I will open a Josh Johnson landing spot thread,,,after all they are both on par skill wise.Marvin49":vqa2d3kv said:

All Kaep accomplishes by doing this is hurt SF's leverage a little in trade talks. They were probably going to trade him anyway at some point. If Gabbert (or a different QB) could be roughly as good as Kaepernick for 1/10th the money, of course they would deal Kaepernick.

This ain't the Denial Zone, chowderhead. When a starting QB demands a trade, it actually gets a separate thread here.

no, thats not all he does. he gets his revenge, also. remember, he was thrown completely under the bus last year by his own management. they burned the bridge. he gets his revenge by screwing over the 49ers in the draft. now the world knows that the 49ers will be targeting a qb in the first round or 2 of the draft. no way would they go into the next season with a nobody backing up a nobody (gabbert). knowing what a teams intentions are in first round is power
such a trainwreck of a franchise

I question if Kaep really has trade value and wonder if that is why they are asking for permission to seek a trade.
If you were a GM and knowing that the injury clause in his contract allows him to play possum and potentially hold your franchise hostage, would you trade for him? He has cap hits coming over the next few years as high as 19 mill base. All guaranteed if he can't pass a physical and we just watched him get benched supposedly healthy and then two weeks later claim he has all theses injuries. Never went to the teams doctors, instead chose to do everything on his own.
Essentially if he finds out no team is willing to trade for him all he has to do is say his hand still hurts and he can't throw the football. He could potentially milk that threw the entire length of his contract if he wanted to and there really is nothing the 9er organization could do unless he was willing to take an injury settlement.
As a GM your not just asking yourself if he can reach his talent or if he will be a leader or a locker room cancer. Your also asking if that contract is a risk. Would he even restructure? He already has the 12 mill this year so how much would you need to offer him to walk away from his other contract? Would 20 Mill guaranteed do it? Would you risk 20 mill to see if he can still reach his potential?
If I'm a GM I would want nothing to do with him. Not worth the risk he won't get disgruntled at his next stop and play possum there. Just to much risk and uncertainty. He has the 9ers bent over a barrel right now and for the foreseeable future if he wants to.
If you were a GM and interested in him. What pick and compensation would you give up? Would you take his current contract or try and renegotiate? If your going to renegotiate, what amount do you offer that you think he would except?

A few on the webzone think they can land a 3rd for him and I think one guy wanted them to hold out for what Alex Smith fetched them, 2 2nds......... :lol:RichNhansom":v39uhfhw said:

The combined cap hit of Bortles and Kaepernick is $21.5 million . . . $3 million more than Russell Wilson. LOL.
Chip Kelly, with a committed Kaepernick, might be somewhat formidable. But now, thanks to all the egos involved, Kaepernick will be half-assing it while collecting a huge pay check. His ego is bruised after the way he was benched last season. Any trust he had with the organization that allowed him to agree to an extension with so little true guarantees is gone. He now wants out of that hellhole. This is everything Kelly hates. But I doubt York and Baalke will let him walk. He will rot there this season as a constant source of distraction and negativity.

Marvin the Seahawks thread on the Webzone is currently on page 1043. If you want to review any history in that thread you have to go one page at a time. So if you want to know what is on page 520, you have to click over 500 pages. It is beyond a dumb way to control threads and does more to kill discussions than promote them.
Besides the 9er conversation around here is pretty much dead. Outside of current events which your franchise seems to have a never ending supply of stupidity happening at all times, there really isn't that much Seahawks fans want to talk about 49er related.
Face it the rivalry is dead over here. Outside the occasional giggle at your expense and the ongoing pitty party. There just isn't much interest in your bottom dweller franchise.
