Chargers Open To Trading Down From No. 3

Feb 29, 2016 12:25 PM

The San Diego Chargers are open to trading down from the third overall selection in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The Chargers don't have a young quarterback but Philip Rivers signed an extension last offseason.

San Diego hasn't owned such a high pick since 2004 when they had the top overall pick and traded away Eli Manning in a deal for Rivers.

Washington Holding Robert Griffin III Trade Talks With Multiple Teams

Feb 26, 2016 6:14 PM

Washington has been been in talks with at least two teams about a trade involving Robert Griffin III.

Griffin would have to agree to a new contract with any team that trades for him, so he figures to have some influence on where he ends up.

Washington picked up Griffin's $16.15 million option for 2016. If they are unable to trade Griffin, the Redskins are expected to release him by the time the new league year begins March 9.

Colin Kaepernick Seeks Trade From 49ers

Feb 26, 2016 6:12 PM

The agents of Colin Kaepernick have requested permission from the San Francisco 49ers to seek a trade.

The report runs counter to what Chip Kelly told reporters on Thursday.

"He wants to be here," Kelly told reporters. "He's never expressed to me that he didn't want to be here. He expressed to me that he's excited about getting healthy and getting going. And we're excited about him getting healthy and getting going."

On April 1st, Kaepernick's $11.9 million base salary for 2016 becomes guaranteed. 

Jed York and Trent Baalke appeared to purposely alienate Kaepernick midway through the 2015 season after a 2-6 start.

"He's seemed excited every time I've talked to him," Kelly said. "I've also learned to not believe everything that's on the Internet.

"There's a reason he was on IR. I mean, there was something wrong with him."

49ers To Keep Colin Kaepernick At Least Through April 1st

Feb 25, 2016 12:25 PM

The San Francisco 49ers will keep Colin Kaepernick on their roster on April 1st when his $11.9 million base salary for 2016 becomes fully guaranteed.

"I think the good thing is we've got two guys that have gone into games who've proven they can play, and Colin's done some awful good things through his career, won some big games for the San Francisco 49ers and [we] expect him to come back," Trent Baalke said at his podium availability.

"The main focus right now is health, getting him healthy. He's done a good job with his rehab. Talking to the medical staff, that seems to be going very well, and [we] just look forward to getting him back and getting him working with this coaching staff."

Kaepernick, 28, is recovering from three surgeries (left shoulder, right thumb, left knee).

Kaepernick will compete for the starting quarterback job with Blaine Gabbert.

Marshall Wants Jets To Re-Sign Ryan Fitzpatrick, Not Pursue Kap

Feb 4, 2016 11:50 AM

Brandon Marshall would prefer the New York Jets to re-sign Ryan Fitzpatrick rather than pursue Colin Kaepernick.

"I don't want Kaepernick," Marshall told ESPN's First Take on Wednesday morning. "I think he's good. My guy's Fitz. It's nothing against Kaepernick, but what I'm saying is that I have my quarterbacks and I'm good."

Kaepernick would like to move on from the San Francisco 49ers and the Jets are reportedly his preferred destination.

"The second half of Ryan Fitzpatrick's career is going to be amazing," Marshall said, "because he's with his guy Chan Gailey and he really owns this offense. And that's what you want out of the quarterback position."

Colin Kaepernick Prefers Move To Jets

Feb 3, 2016 1:50 PM

Colin Kaepernick would like to move on from the San Francisco 49ers and his preferred team are the New York Jets.

Kaepernick was benched midway through last season by the 49ers and the team hired Chip Kelly this offseason.

The Jets are intrigued by Kaepernick's interest but are still in the early stages of their offseason planning and are afraid of tampering.

The Jets are interested in re-signing Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Kaepernick would have to be traded to the Jets or sign there if he's released.

Jed York declared last week that there’s “no question” in his mind that Kaepernick can re-gain his job as the starter.

"I've always had a very, very high opinion of Kap,” York said. “Kap's a great kid. He's done a lot of great things for us. Again, this is a fresh start for everybody."

Jets' offensive coordinator Chan Gailey has had success with dual-threat quarterbacks.
