Now that the 49ers have hired Chip Kelly, there’s no way they’re going to give up Colin Kaepernick in the offseason, right?
It’s probably safe to assume that (though, for what it’s worth, it was also safe to assume that the Eagles wouldn’t trade star running back LeSean McCoy last offseason and, well…). The Niners were well on their way to releasing Kaepernick, but with Kelly in the mix, they’d be stupid not to give him one more chance. And judging by what they just did in their online team store, it looks like they’re going to give it to him.
