Could Colin Kaepernick really want out of SF?

     It was reported earlier today from a credible New York Jets insider that Colin Kaepernick would prefer to play for the Jets, and that he may want out of San Francisco. The news comes as a shock to most as it seemed that Kaepernick and Kelly are a great fit for each other. On the other hand, Kelly has declined to even talk about Kaepernick until his contract option later in the year. The Kelly- Kap relationship hasn't gotten off to the fleetest of foot, which is unexpected. Could this be a precursor to the end of Kaepernick in San Francisco? 

     Many believe it is clear that Kelly wants Kaepernick, but Kaepernick wanting to be part of Kelly's team is a different question entirely. The relationship between Kaepernick and the 49ers has definitely taken a big hit since he signed that extension a couple of years ago. Instead of looking like a top QB in the league and the 49ers franchise guy, he might be on his way out of the Bay Area or competing for a starting job once again. 

     Another wrinkle to this whole thing is that 49ers QB Blaine Gabbert said that he is confident that he can run Chip Kelly's offense. Gabbert sounds like a guy that hasn't been given any indication that he will not be the QB in San Francisco. Obviously, the 49ers wouldn't proclaim who their QB definitely is just yet, especially with a new coach with a whole different system in. They wouldn't want to make either of the QBs on the roster feel too comfortable. A QB competition could help them both. 

     This whole Kaepernick thing could be just talk or it could have backing to it. We honestly won't know until someone confirms or denies it or the situation plays out in some favor. It could very well be that Kaepernick wants out. It could also be true that Kaepernick wants to stay and compete for the starting job again. Nobody has all the answers right now, so let's just wait for it to play out.
