Jets Rumored to be Interested in Kaepernick

From the never a dull moment department, we bring you the latest Jets QB rumors. There are reports today saying that the Jets are in talks to trade for 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick. There are other reports saying that it is a smoke screen designed to bring down the contract demands of Ryan Fitzpatrick. That seems to make a lot of sense, the QB carousel fills up fast, as there aren’t many options for Fitzpatrick to be a starter next year. The Jets seem to be counting on that because it will drive his price down.

Anyway, we will let the tweets tell the full story.

If #Jets don't land Colin Kaepernick, expect them to inquire about #Texans QB Brian Hoyer. They already traded for one #Texans QB last year

A team trading for Colin Kaepernick will need $13.425M of 2016 salary cap space. His cap number could be lowered after acquiring him.

Colin Kaepernick's remaining contract shouldn't be outlandish if a team trades for him. It's $89.2M/5 years with a team friendly structure.
