Colin Kaepernick is entering the final season of his original four-year deal and could sign an extension with the San Francisco 49ers this offseason.

“I think it’s a balance,” Kaepernick said Thursday morning. “You want to be paid fairly for what you feel like you’re doing in comparison to your peers. But at the same time, you have to realize that if we want to get Anquan Boldin back, if we want Donte Whitner to come back, we’re going to have to make moves to get them back and there has to be room for everyone.

“And that’s something that I’m going to let my agent and the organization try to figure out. But, hopefully, it’s a (situation) where we can assemble the best team that we need.”

Kaepernick's focus this offseason will be on improving his game and not on his contract.

“To me, I’m trying to focus on what I need to do to get ready for next season and improve myself so I can help improve this offense and ultimately help win the Super Bowl,” Kaepernick said.

Kaepernick will work on his all-around game and not just his ability as a pocket passer.

“I think pocket passing is something is something that’s overlooked as far as what I do,” Kaepernick said. “I think people see me running around and they see me throwing on the run. They see me running down field and that’s just what he does.

“When you step up in the pocket and make a normal throw, it gets overlooked because you’re not running around. To me, it’s something, yes, you want to get better at that. I want to get better at throwing on the run, going through progressions quicker, I want to get better at everything. But I don’t think that (pocket passing) specifically is being addressed.”

Colin Kaepernick finally responded to the infamous comments by Richard Sherman following the Seattle Seahawks' victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship.

Sherman made a great pass deflection on Kaepernick's ball to Michael Crabtree.

“If I throw that ball one foot farther, it’s a TD and now you’re the goat, Richard Sherman,” said Kaepernick.   

Sherman repeatedly called Crabtree a "mediocre" receiver.

“He’s afraid of our receivers, and that’s something I’m looking forward to [exploiting] next year.”

Gideon Yu has stepped down as president of the San Francisco 49ers.

Yu was critical in financing and building the 49ers' new stadium in Santa Clara.

Yu will remain as co-owner of the 49ers.

Paraag Marathe will become president of the 49ers.

NaVorro Bowman suffered a torn ACL and MCL in the second half of the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, according to a source.

The San Francisco 49ers expect Bowman to be ready for the start of the 2014 season.

Jim Tomsula is on the radar of the Cleveland Browns for their head coaching vacancy.

Tomsula served as interim head coach of the San Francisco 49ers after Mike Singletary was fired several years ago.

Tomsula is defensive line coach of the 49ers.

The Browns spent last week doing background work on Tomsula.

Michael Crabtree reportedly attempted to fight Richard Sherman at a charity event hosted by Larry Fitzgerald last offseason.

"While there, Sherman went to shake Crabtree's hand, and Crabtree tried to start a fight, according to Sherman's older brother, Branton," writes Jerry Brewer of the Times. "'I'm going to make a play and embarrass him,' Richard Sherman vowed that day."

Sherman admitted that his postgame interview with Erin Andrews was filled with adrenaline following the game.

"A lot of what I said to [Erin] Andrews was adrenaline talking, and some of that was Crabtree," wrote Sherman on Monday Morning Quarterback. "I just don't like him. It was loud, it was in the moment, and it was just a small part of the person I am. I don't want to be a villain, because I'm not a villainous person ... To those who would call me a thug or worse because I show passion on a football field -- don't judge a person's character by what they do between the lines. Judge a man by what he does off the field, what he does for his community, what he does for his family."

The San Francisco 49ers fear that NaVorro Bowman suffered a torn ACL on a catch near the goal line.

Bowman intercepted the ball, but it was ruled a completion and fumble for the Seattle Seahawks.

Bowman had 14 tackles, a sack and a tackle for the loss before his horrific injury.

Percy Harvin has been ruled out for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Harvin suffered a concussion last week against the New Orleans Saints.

“It’s super disappointing for Percy,” Pete Carroll said. “He wants to play. You could see it. He played his tail off when he had his chance. It’s just unfortunate circumstances.”

K.J. Wright will play, however, just weeks after suffering a broken bone in his foot.

Percy Harvin has still not been cleared for the NFC Championship Game.

Harvin suffered a concussion in the Seattle Seahawks' win in the Divisional Round against the New Orleans Saints.

Harvin has yet to finish a game in which he's played in this season.

The Cincinnati Bengals are the third NFL team since 1990 to have both coordinators take jobs as head coach.

Mike Zimmer was hired by the Minnesota Vikings, while Jay Gruden is now head coach of the Washington Redskins.

The 2006 San Diego Chargers and 1994 San Francisco 49ers are the other two teams to have both coordinators leave for head coaching positions.

The Chargers had Cam Cameron and Wade Phillips leave for the Dolphins and Cowboys respectively.

The 49ers had Mike Shanahan and Ray Rhodes leave for the Broncos and Eagles.
