Friday Adam Schefter reported that Colin Kaepernick is expected to opt out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers and become a free agent.

If Kaepernick chooses to opt out, the 49ers will have $16.9 million of freed up cap space, and will carry almost $2.5 million in dead money. This doesn't mean that Colin Kaepernick won't be back in Red and Gold next season, but it allows him to test the free agent market.
