Colin Kaepernick's $11.9M 2016 contract becomes guaranteed (Yahoo Sports)

After months of trade talk and speculation, Colin Kaepernick is still on San Francisco's roster and due a hefty payday. While potential new teams for Kaepernick - Denver had been considered a serious suitor given the retirement of Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler's departure to Houston in free agency - might ask him to restructure his current deal, Kaepernick wouldn't have to accept anything less than the $11.9 million. Former first-round pick Blaine Gabbert took over in November for the benched Kaepernick, who has since undergone shoulder and thumb surgeries.
