Blowing $11.9 Million

The San Francisco 49er's probably wish they never exercised the option on Colin Kaepernick back in April. They are now on the hook for a fully guaranteed $11.9 million salary for the 2016 season.

His recovery from off-season surgery on his shoulder, thumb and knee has hindered his participation in training camp. His recent comments are making him toxic to almost everyone that might want him on their team.

The 49er's can save a $1.125 million roster bonus if they cut him before the season starts.

They are in a real jam. If they release Kaepernick, it will look like they parted ways because of his comments.

It's a situation that is getting out of control.
