San Francisco 49ers

Aside from all of his off the field attention, Colin Kaepernick had a resurgent season for the 49ers. Although San Francisco went 1-10 in his starts, Kaepernick had arguably his best season in three years. He has a player option for 2017.

Kaepernick finished 2016 with his highest quarterback rating in three years, the best touchdown to interception ratio of his career and the lowest interception percentage of his career.

San Francisco would not be an ideal destination for Kaaya, other than the fact that he would get to return to his home state. The 49ers are presently without a Head Coach or a General Manager. They have a solid running back in Carlos Hyde if he can stay healthy.

The are bereft of talent in the receiving corp. Vance McDonald could become a solid playmaker at tight end, but he is more of a complementary player. Veteran Jeremy Kerley led the Niners in receiving this year. Torrey Smith has been a bust since coming over from Baltimore.

San Francisco finished 2016 27th in scoring and last in scoring defense. Their passing offense also finished last in 2016. They need gross upgrades on both sides of the ball. The bottom has fallen out in San Francisco since Jim Harbaugh left.
