\nSan Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that signing quarterback Colin Kaepernick to an extension is a “high priority.”<\/p>\n
Truer and more obvious words could not have been spoken.<\/p>\n
Kaepernick is entering the final year of his contract and will make $1.073 million this season, less thank backup Blaine Gabbert who will make $2.011 million.<\/p>\n
There has been some blips about the 49ers and contract talks with Kaepernick but there does not appear to be a lot of actually dealings thus far.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose things have a process that play out.,\u201d Harbaugh said Monday at the NFL owners meetings, via CSN Bay Area. \u201cThe priority is Colin Kaepernick is a San Francisco 49er for however long we can have him be a San Francisco 49er. It\u2019s definitely a high priority.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last season Kaepernick took over the reigns for his first full season. After a slow start he responded with 3,197 yards passing with 21 touchdowns to eight interceptions. He added another 524 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmazing individual. Amazing player,\u201d is what Harbaugh said about his signal caller. \u201cHe shows up and works all the time. There\u2019s really nobody to compete with him in a workout situation. He will bury everybody. And then when somebody tries to compete with him, he just ramps his competitiveness up and somebody\u2019s over there on a knee throwing up.”<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s unbelievable. As you can tell, I think he\u2019s a special and great player. So it\u2019s a high priority.\u201d<\/p>\n
