Kaepernick wants $18MM per year

[AceBoogie]

I didn't realize Cutler and Romo made that kind of money. He'll get it most likely.

Exactly that's just standard qb pay these days. You're either paying, getting ready to pay it, or drafting it.

[Jackofalltrades]

Russ is. He struggled a little during the playoffs but he's great.

Kaep on the other hand..... WOW. $18M per year for a QB with the arm of Derek Anderson and the decision making ability of Daunte Culpepper. Awesome. Where do we sign up?

Wilson has been a game manager, without that defense he's not taking Seattle to the playoffs. I love Wilson, but he's not the reason they got the ring.

They were up 22-0 without him doing anything

ESPN is currently discussing how SF needs to get Colin some playmakers.

Accuracy. Not strength.

 

 

Gotcha...it just didn't "read" that way when I read it.

[Jase]

that money can buy a lot of knit caps and deep V-neck polo shirts to wear unironically.

Alex smith is also looking for 17-20 a season.

[Mr. Scot]

I'll laugh if he gets it :lol:

Fair enough. Either way, he's a QB who cant beat u with his arm.

Over the past year, several quarterbacks have procured mind-boggling extensions, and Kaepernick has already out-produced them in his short career. Matthew Stafford, Tony Romo and Jay Cutler all received contracts over the past year that pay them around $18 million a season, and the numbers show Kaepernick is worth even more than that.

 

Stafford has an average QBR of 53.3 in the regular season and is 0-1 in the postseason. Romo has an average QBR of 63.4 in the regular season with a postseason QBR of 50.4 and a record of 1-3. Cutler’s average QBR in the regular season is 56.4 but drops to 39.1 in the postseason where he has a record of 1-1. Kaepernick’s regular season QBR is 69.9 and rises to 87.5 in the postseason where he has a record of 4-2 including a Super Bowl appearance.

 

The numbers illustrate that Kaepernick is due for a major pay increase, and his electrifying play on the field has 49ers fans supporting this move. Kaepernick should get a franchise quarterback deal this offseason and continue to lead the 49ers to new heights in the future.

Most are saying that Smith is worth a 18-19 a season contract. so I'd imagine that the 49ers will happily give kap a 18-20 a year deal

[Growl]

This is why it's important to get Cam's deal done first.

[mcdougal]

The one regret that Cam, Colin, and Wilson will have is not allowing Luck and Tannehill to sign their deals first. I promise you when Luck asks for 20+ million and Tannehill 18+ million NOBODY will care.

None of them were worth that money.

Kaepernick isn't either.
