Colin Kaepernick on the trading block?

Jayson Braddock of KBME in Houston is reporting that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is on the trading block. Yes, the 27-year-old signal caller has flashed signs of brilliance during his four-year NFL career. Nonetheless, inconsistencies and signs of immaturity have many people around the league questioning his long-term viability as a franchise quarterback. The 49ers locked up Kaepernick to a long-term extension prior to the 2014 season, but they structured it in a way that would make it relatively easy to move on from their starting quarterback at any time. With that being said, 49ers’ general manager Trent Baalke has adamantly denied all reports that he is entertaining trade offers for the Nevada Wolfpack legend.

While Baalke may be denying interest in shipping the de facto face of the franchise out of town, recent roster activity, and a seemingly clear-cut desire to move on from all things related to Jim Harbaugh, make the idea of the 49ers trading Kaepernick a very realistic possibility. In the event that he is indeed on the trading block, here is a look at three potential landing spots for Colin Kaepernick.

I don't believe anything coming from the 49ers these days.

are probably deeper than Kaep. Just a few years ago, he showed he could be a decent QB under the right coaching and with good blocking. Right now, he might be their best bet as far as that position goes.
