Jim Harbaugh - C - 49ers

A source tells CSN Bay Area that the 49ers won't pay coach Jim Harbaugh "like a Super Bowl winning-coach" until he wins the Super Bowl.

According to reporter Matt Maiocco, Harbaugh's long-term future with the 49ers "remains uncertain." If the source's report is true, it's a baffling hardball stance from a team that's reached three straight NFC Championship Games under its prodigy head coach. The news comes on the heels of Profootballtalk's report that Harbaugh was nearly traded to the Browns. The 49ers vehemently denied the report, but the Browns made no such effort. Harbaugh is currently signed through 2015, but it would behoove both sides to hammer out an extension this offseason. The 49ers would be wise to pay Harbaugh what he wants.

Jim Harbaugh - C - 49ers

"Multiple league sources" tell Profootballtalk the Browns nearly acquired 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh in a trade before hiring Mike Pettine to replace Rob Chudzinski.

That would qualify as a bombshell. The Browns made essentially no effort to deny the report in a team statement. Per PFT, a deal that would have sent "multiple" draft picks to San Francisco was "in place" before Harbaugh decided he wanted to remain with the 49ers. If true, it would be a sign the tension between Harbaugh and GM Trent Baalke is worse than previously reported, and that extension talks have been going far from smoothly. Of course, Cleveland's interest could have been the impetus for the sides to get serious about reaching a new deal. PFT reported last week that the 49ers are hoping to extend Harbs' deal this offseason. He's currently signed through 2015. It's a fittingly-bizarre capper to the Browns' magical mystery tour of a coaching search.

Colin Kaepernick - QB - 49ers

The 49ers and Colin Kaepernick's representation met for dinner at the NFL Combine.

Due just $973,766 in 2014, Kaep is wildly underpaid going into the final year of his rookie contract. With Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, and Robert Griffen III all set to be extended next season, an early extension would allow the 49ers to set the young quarterback market instead of being constrained by it. Along with Anquan Boldin, Kaepernick is the 49ers' top priority this offseason.

Adam Schefter (this morning):

Doesn't sound like Anquan Boldin going anywhere. Two sides closing in on deal to keep Boldin in SF, per sources. Deal expected to get done.

If it comes from Schefter, it is fact and far from a rumor or a guessing game.

Jim Harbaugh - C - 49ers

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam confirmed at the Combine that his team did attempt to acquire Jim Harbaugh from the 49ers earlier this offseason.

The 49ers' front office has vehemently denied talks occurred, but Haslam didn't back down when pressed by USA Today's Jarrett Bell. "There was an opportunity there, and it didn't materialize," said Haslam. It's entirely unclear what sort of compensation San Francisco was seeking, but pretty clear at this point that the Niners may be headed for a divorce with Harbaugh, probably after next season. It's worth noting Dolphins owner Stephen Ross pursued Harbaugh aggressively when he was leaving Stanford. Current Fins GM Dennis Hickey and coach Joe Philbin are believed to be a lame-duck pairing entering 2014.

Boom, I knew it. Kawakami feels York favors Baalke over Harbs. This could tip the scales towards an exit but I'm not convinced of that yet, I still think they work out the salary numbers and he stays.

Nice! Now he can stick around to contribute on special teams (I hope). Just keep him off the defense.

Sounds like the 49ers/Anquan Boldin situation is down to waiting for him to say yes to either a 2- or 3-year deal.

I find your annoyance with whitner funny Sick...

I personally think he performs at an above average level and for the right money allows us to maintain continuity in a tumoltuous position over the last several years. It's un(in?)arguable that the combination of Eric Reid and Donte Whitner was far superior to Goldson/Whitner

Also gives us another season to groom his soon to be drafted replacement. Hopefully his signing bonus is minimal and/or only in the first season.
