San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick is more than open to returning to the 49ers in 2016, according to NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport. Kaepernick will be owed a full base salary of $11.9 million if he’s on the roster April 1. New head coach Chip Kelly was interested in Kaepernick before he landed the job, but he hasn’t publicly endorsed Kaepernick over QB Blaine Gabbert.
