This is the live blog for the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 13 road game against the Chicago Bears. I’ll update this frequently with information and analysis from my living room.
8:20 Adam Schefter just tweeted this: “49ers and Colin Kaepernick met last week and team expressed it’s open to bringing him back, per sources. Door not closed on return to SF.”
Here’s how I interpret that report: Trent Baalke would rather trade Kaepernick than cut him, but Baalke can’t trade Kaepernick unless other teams think the Niners want him. This is a fruitless attempt to create trade value.
