Colin Kaepernick would like a trade from the San Francisco 49ers but Chip Kelly would like him to remain with the franchise.

Kelly said he talked to Kaepernick earlier this week and is staying hopeful he won't be traded when the offseason program begins on April 4th.

"I'd love to have him. I'm a big Kap fan," Kelly said Thursday after Stanford's pro day.

Last month, Kelly professed his commitment to Kaepernick during the NFL combine, only to have reports emerge soon after that saying the quarterback's agents had asked general manager Trent Baalke to be traded from San Francisco.
