The West Coast version of the 90's Buffalo Bills
The NFL is like boxing a lil bit. So if a fanbase takes too many consecutive EPIC loses
They kinda just stay down I.E. The Bills, Cowboys, Pacers, Knicks, Cubs
And now the 49ers :ez: Especially after Seattle came thru..
Started from the bottom now
You know in your HEART that they are the better team.
Have a better defense while your defense is taking hits all over the place
NOW YOU OVERPAY for an overrated Kap? Alex Smith did more last season with less to work with
I'll just keep that between me and you

Niners fans did all that shyt talking and now they're about to go back to being mediocre. Serves them right.

They'll reply with "When's the last time the Redskins won anything "

49er fans, you are the BIGGEST LOSERS

Here are the details of the deal.

Technically, the deal has $61 million guaranteed, even though $6 million of the guaranteed salary could evaporate (more on that later). Either way, only $13.073 million is guaranteed at signing. It comes in the form of a $12.328 million signing bonus, a base salary of $645,000, and a workout bonus of $100,000.

For 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and part of 2018, the base salaries are guaranteed only for injury. On April 1 of each year, the guarantees convert from injury only to fully guaranteed. That gives the 49ers the ability to decide, in any given year, to move on from Kaepernick. And with the deadline for the conversion of the guarantee coming on April 1, the 49ers can squat on his rights until several weeks after the start of free agency, making it harder for him to get paid elsewhere.

The base salary for 2015 is $12.4 million, guaranteed for injury only until April 1, 2015.

For 2016, the base salary is $13.9 million, guaranteed for injury only until April 1, 2016.

For 2017, the base salary is $16.5 million, guaranteed for injury only until April 1, 2017.

For 2018, the base salary is $17 million, $5.2 million of which is guaranteed for injury only until April 1, 2018.

The non-guaranteed base salary for 2019 is $18.8 million, and the non-guaranteed base salary for 2020 is $21 million.

In each year from 2015 through 2020, however, there’s a catch. A big one. The total payout potentially de-escalates by $2 million per year, with up to $12 million potentially going away.

Kaepernick can halt the de-escalation by taking, in any year of the deal, 80 percent of the snaps and if: (1) the 49ers appear in the Super Bowl; or (2) Kaepernick is named a first-team or second-team All-Pro. If he satisfies the requirement in 2014, the full $12 million remains. If he fails in 2014 but succeeds in 2015, $10 million stays. If he does it for the first time in 2016, $8 million remains. If he does it for the first time in 2017, $6 million stays — and so on until 2019, when if he satisfies the requirement that year for the first time $2 million stays in the deal for 2010.

It’s a convoluted way to pump up the base value of the deal artificially, allowing Kaepernick and his agents to claim that the deal is better than it will be, unless he satisfies the requirements to stop the de-escalator this year.

The contract also includes, starting in 2015, a whopping $2 million per year in per-game roster bonuses, an amount that one source characterized as “massive” in comparison to similar deals. It means that, for every game Kaepernick misses due to injury after the 2014 season, he loses $125,000.

Starting in 2015, $400,000 per year is tied to workout bonuses, which adds up to $2.4 million of the base value.

The contract also requires Kaepernick to purchase, with after-tax dollars, a disability policy that pays the 49ers $20 million if he suffers a career-ending injury.

As one source put it, Kaepernick can feel good about the deal because he has a lot more guaranteed money today than he had yesterday. But the same source also added that the 49ers are nevertheless “thrilled” with the contract, which allows them to control Kaepernick’s rights for seven years and to move on after any of the next six seasons, if they ultimately decide that Kaepernick is more like the guy who struggled at times during the 2013 regular season and less like the guy who found the gas pedal in the playoffs.

You can run the ball and play defense while having a good QB too. Sanchez was terrible and held the Jets back.

Yes but if you are paying that QB $20 mil a year your ability to field that defense and running game is hampered. We have still yet to see a QB win a Bowl AFTER getting paid like that.

If holding a team back equals making back to back championship games and beating the likes of the Pats and the Manning led Colts I am sure most teams would take that for a fraction of what Kaep is getting.

Nikkaz talking about value or worth are lost.

The market determines your value. When Ryan, Romo, Cutler got paid....that just raised the price for QBs like Kaep, Russ, Smith, etc. When you look at Cutler's deal, Kaep is worth that deal, maybe more. Franchise QBs get PAID in this league. Better get used to it. Your squad will be breaking the bank for your QB. If not, he probably sucks and so does your squad.

How good were the Falcons, Cowboys, Bears or the Ravens and Lions for that matter last year? Every one of those guys that raised the price for QBs and "set the market" were sitting at home watching the playoffs last year.

The intelligence and back bone of your team as well as his performance and your team's success determines a QBs value. Basing what you pay your QB on what other QBs are getting paid is stupid. It's especially stupid when you look at the track record of said teams after those QBs get paid. That's like saying it's worth it to pay $1000 dollars plus for some red bottoms just because a bunch of other nikkas who can't pay their rent are doing so as well.

Reading is fundamental. Dont be mad cuz yall GMs are fkn dumb. Baalke gave Kap a pay as you go prove it contract. Left the the team with plenty of room to resign players. No Flacco type fukkery. My QB said help me and my teammates. Thats a fkn leader. #QuestForSix

Well, you never know. Colin Kaepernick was groomed for success with the opportunities he was given while growing up. Could he have made it if he was raised by his real father? Maybe, maybe not.

I think he deserves a big contract extension. However, I think the 49ers blew too big of a load this time. Minimum $60 million? I don't think he's worth that much yet.
Like someone else asked, what's the cap hit? And how is that going to affect how the 49er's can pick up or retain good players to build the team up around Kaepernick. We all know Dallas has surrounded Tony Romo with players who just washed out.

Thanks. No need to Google that.

Its not 61 mil garunteed people he ain't getting no where near that.

His contract extension has a lot of escalators. I'm sure he'll be swimming in mountains of cash after six years.

Yeah but again you're forgetting that those Jets teams were built through free agency. These Niner teams have been built through the draft...once Sanchez was asked to pick up the slack a bit, he was horrific.
