For #49ers QB Colin Kaepernick: It’s a 6-year extension worth up to $126M with $61M guaranteed, source says.

Highest guarantee ever.


That's amazing. Newton and Wilson are licking their chops!

Crazy money. But does it really deserve 1 million tweets?

Andrew Luck likes this. lol

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

wow the price for worhtless QB's is going thru the roof.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

Could be serious salary cap hell in the future, depending on structure of deal

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

NFL teams are throwing away money to below average players like crazy. The defense makes that team good not Kaep same goes for Wilson because he's about to get paid like Kaep also.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

Money talks. Kaep > Brees

Every quarterback worth a damn likes this.

Insert Romo pic here!

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

I'm starting to think we absolutely stole Brees.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

Maybe... maybe not. Either way, it's salary cap challenges for any team with a QB getting paid that much. In the end, it just means the Whiners just got weaker as a team as they cannot afford to pay others as a consequence of this contract.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

We haven't seen the contract extension either. :help:

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

Looks like this type of money will be the norm for franchise quarterbacks.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

These insane contracts are ridiculous. What if he gets injured in preseason and is out for the season and it lingers around for the next few years? What a waste of money. That arrogant f**ktard isnt even close to being worth that much. The 49ers GM is an idiot!

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

Not only is he not worth HALF of the contract he is under investigation for crimes in Florida. Only in SF!

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

I think he was cleared from the investigation. But he still isn't worth half of the contract.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

Insane money...

But as for the 49ers now being in perpetual cap hell, I would only point out that there's always a way to massage the cap to sign the players a team needs, like the Saints (and Loomis) know very well.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

Well do the 49ers have a Loomis? Sounds easy; but they're teams(Falcons) that have problems "massaging" the cap...

Falcons were in the Byrd sweepstakes, but couldn't make it work; even though they had more cap room than we did...

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

Insane money is right. Crazy Insane.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

That's very true and I didn't mean to say that their gm would be on par with Loomis' ability to manage the salary cap. I was merely implying that the notion of "cap hell" is overused and oftentimes exaggerated i.e. FailClowns' message boards. :-)

Can you imagine what Andrew Luck's contract will look like when he is due a new deal? Yikes!

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

You won't get an argument from Dolphins fans!

Contract details, not as bad as one might think:

Way too much for a avg. QB.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

If he gets hurt or doesn't perform he could lose a boat load

But there's a big kicker: As much as $12 million can be usurped from the deal if Kaepernick does not play 80 percent of the team's snaps and either reach a Super Bowl or be named first- or second-team All Pro. If he achieves this in the 2014 season, the $12M remains his to keep, but if not he could lose up to $2M per year for as long as he fails to reach those requirements. That's quite an insurance policy there for the 49ers.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

look what happened to Flaco after his way too big pay day

Kaep will get soft, loose his edge
and the team around him will get weaker

hell, Brees hasn't been the same since his big deal

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

All of these idiotic salaries are definitely going to make it look that way. But it's the insanity of each one of these deals that's leading to the next one. As far as I'm concerned all of these QB's are stealing from their teams. It wouldn't be so bad if there were no such thing as the salary cap. But since there is, it's going to get harder and harder for teams to keep their roster's together.

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

This isn't a bad deal at all imo.
Lots of get outs for the 49ers. If Kapernick doesn't perform he doesn't get the big bucs

Re: WOW - Kaepernick: 6yr, 126M, 61M guaranteed!!!
 

I am having a hard time ever remembering a contract this big, that was so heavily loaded with performance perks and incentives. I thought the league (and maybe the NFLPA, the new CBA?) had been sorta trending away from those sort of highly performance-laden deals. I guess not. I would love to see contracts where our wide receiver corps get paid per catch or docked a fine per every drop. Can you imagine how crazy good our young defense would play, if everybody had a payout for getting to the Super Bowl or Pro Bowl, and lost money over the course of their contract, if they didn't get there?

Ridiculous money
