Kaepernick for RG111 straight up
Hence the name "Smart" on your avatar.lose lose
Think about the salary cap
49ers would be better cutting Kaep. If they trade him, the bonus payments accelerate and hit the cap now.
Any team would be better signing RGKnee rather than trading for him. If you trade for him, his cap number next year is $14 million. You can probably sign him to a cheaper one year deal.

thanks for the clarification...it's still a cute idea though. Put the whole change of scenery thing into play.
I think both players have shown enough upside to warrant a fresh start somewhere. In both cases over half their issues are between their ears. The question would be is this permanent damage or temporary.Kaep going to the Redskins and RGKnee going to San Fran could happen- but not as a trade.
Kaepernick needs a change of offense. Which could happen in San Francisco, as that puppet coach should be fired.
RGKnee needs to get out from under Jon Gruden's brother. If a coach uses him properly, he could be good for the three or four games he's healthy. Going to a team that drafts a first round quarterback (like the 49ers might), would be good for Griffin and that team.

A. There is no difference in cap implications between trading a player and releasing a player. All pro-rated bonus money hits you immediately with both scenarios.
B. RGIII's cap hit next year is all base salary and none of it is guaranteed. That last year would essentially be thrown out as a new deal is put in place.
About "B", that isn't true if he gets injured this year in which case the money is fully guaranteed. So why would anyone trade for him this year and then not play him for fear of injury only so they could sign him next year?
I am going under the premise that SF has packed it in for this year and would finish the year out with Gabbert. I would also assume that a contract would be worked out with RGIII before any trade was agreed to.
