Barnwell weighs in..

And to end on another big contract, start counting up the millions for Colin Kaepernick, who unquestionably saw his stock rise this postseason, even considering the pair of interceptions he threw in the fourth quarter against Seattle. Kaepernick was the best offensive player in the postseason up to that point, which is pretty impressive for a guy who looked lost at times during the regular season. Kaepernick really is a different player with Michael Crabtree around, and they should get a full season together in 2014. While I often lump Kaepernick in with the “Gang of Four” because they each came of age during the 2012 campaign, Kaepernick’s a product of the 2011 draft, which means he’s already three years into his rookie deal. First-round picks have a built-in team option, but because Kaepernick was a second-round pick, the 49ers are forced to make their move with him a year earlier. The deal to look at is the five-year, $103.8 million contract the Falcons signed with Matt Ryan before the season. Kaepernick would be in line for that sort of deal, especially after his back-to-back postseason runs. Kaepernick may not have had a particularly memorable regular season, but with a string of playoff performances like the one he’s put together, the Niners won’t really care.

CRAZY MONEY !

[Cheesehead Craig]

Go ahead and pay him SF. Then see how good your defense is when you have 18M/yr less to spend because it's all tied up in your QB.

told you guys, a QB on a winning team makes huge money, even if he is like the 15th most important person on the team, he will be the highest paid

and so is the way of the nfl

Kaep is now eligible to negotiate an extension, spotrac has an analysis:

http://www.spotrac.com/premium/research/nfl/contract-forecast-colin-kaepernick-414/

Their analysis shows 6 years at $19.7 m per.

I say they give him $25 mil a year. Hell, they can let willis, navarro and aldon smith walk.
