The next head coach of the San Francisco 49ers will likely decide the fate of Colin Kaepernick with the franchise.

Kaepernick is scheduled to earn $14.3 million in 2016 though the 49ers could cut him or try to trade him.

Blaine Gabbert is signed for 2016 at just $2.25 million and he expects to compete for the starting job.

Trent Baalke is not expected to use the 49ers' first round pick on either Jared Goff or Paxton Lynch.
