San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is expected to opt out of his current contract and become a free agent.
With the Niners’ other quarterbacks from 2016 — Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder and Thad Lewis — also pending free agents, San Francisco will officially have zero QBs on the roster once NFL free agency starts on March 9.
Talk about a clean slate.
So how will general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan go about redressing this issue? Which quarterbacks — both NFL-ready ones and potential draftees — are in play for San Francisco?
