The last couple days have been loaded with all sorts of chatter about the future of Colin Kaepernick with the San Francisco 49ers. New York reporter Manish Mehta reported Kaepernick wanted out of San Francisco, and his preferred destination was the New York Jets. New Jersey reporter Dom Cosentino followed that with his own source saying there was nothing to Mehta's report.
On Wednesday, Jason LaCanfora had his own thoughts on the situation. He reported the Jets are not interested in Kaepernick, but he also pointed out that it is old news that Kap wants out of San Francisco. The relationship has been problematic, and does not seem likely to get better anytime soon. Chip Kelly certainly is a wild card in all this, but odds remain high Kap is out the door sooner rather than later.
LaCanfora can be all over the map at times, but he has some good sources when it comes to Colin Kaepernick reports. He will be one reporter worth following to get some thoughts on Kaepernick's side of things.
Bottom line with Kaepernick - jets have not and are not interested. Colin has wanted out for quite some time and this impending divorce...

Was reported months ago. Hiring of Chip Kelly changed nothing. He's done nothing to build a relationship and a trade remains very likely...

Kap continues to rehab daily in Vail and will do so into the spring. No plans to be in San Fran for the Super Bowl or anything else...

Makes sense for 49ers to try to put on public face about keeping him, for trade leverage, etc, but there are major trust issues here
