Kaepernick is really happy about his contract. Here's a pic.

After reading this .....

Colin Kaepernick's new contract is a year-to-year deal.
Armchair GMs that spent Wednesday bashing the 49ers for the "$126 million" deal with "$61 million guaranteed" need to click the link below. Essentially, the Niners can cut Kaepernick before April 1 of each year without owing any more money -- so the actual guarantee is just $13 million ($12.3M signing bonus, $645K '14 base salary, $100K '14 workout bonus). There is also a de-escalator in the contract that can only be halted if Kaepernick takes the team to the Super Bowl or he is named first- or second-team All-Pro. A source tells Pro Football Talk that San Francisco is "thrilled" with the pact.


The Niners could get rid of him on a year to year basis if need be, & if he works out he would be worth the money. Sounds like the niners deal has no back fires in it.
Also I kinda have to give Kap some kudos for taking a contract betting on himself performing instead of just taking money no matter what.

Actually think all contracts should be written in a similar way.

The contract is better that most of us thought when it was first announced. I still think it is for too much ,but I will just wait and see.

Looks like u were wrong. Takes a real man to admit when he was wrong. Lets hope u can admit it. After all that took about being one of the worst contracts……..Well it looks like one of the best.

 

[SteelersPride]

dear god man you cant read, and are in complete denial. Not a single non 49'er fan agreed with you.......

but "you won"

also we said its alot of money to pay someone with less than two seasons proof.......

get your crap straight

FIFY, cant type either i see

 

[SteelersPride]

oh no the thumbs down attacks are on again!!

 

[purguy12]

Its ok to be wrong. It happens. I just think its funny how quite this board is since the details came.

Great job by Kap and the front office. Love this contract. There were only a few on here that thought is was a good contract. I was one of them. feels good to be right. Congrats to the other posters on here that were right. Lets see if Players like Luck, Cam, RG3 and wilson follow….. I doubt it. Kap doing the right thing. Good to see. Team friendly deal. Way to help your team out.

Like I said easy victory. Now he is trying to back track and he isn't even making sense now. Great stuff. Don't be mad bro. Its only football.

 

[SteelersPride]

[SteelersPride]

Lets see how many more thumbsdown purguy can give me, since i had 12 in like a year, and not have 10 from him lol.........im hurt, im really hurt

Victory? Don't get carried away. The 49ers still over paid for a ? mark like Kaep, the only saving grace is that they can get a divorce for cheap. However when you consider their fall back at QB, it really isn't a choice at all, is it?

 

[SteelersPride]

can i get a dunce cap, for my whooping?

Haha...you're jumped on board the "greatest contract ever" bandwagon before you knew any of the details that made it a great contract.

That's NOT something to be congratulated on.


It was (is) a great contract for the 49ers (not so great for Kaep IMO, I think he could have done better elsewhere), but don't act like you somehow knew that it had all the incentives and de-escaltators in there. You didn't. You thought it was great when we all thought it was 61MM guaranteed no matter what.
