They were done with him whether he wanted to stay or not. Link? Here's four of them: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18808233/san-francisco-49ers-released-colin-kaepernick-opt-out But even if Kaepernick hadn't exercised that option, he wouldn't have been back with the 49ers under the terms of his current contract. General manager John Lynch told SiriusXM radio on Thursday afternoon that the team would have released Kaepernick had he not elected to opt out. "Kaep is going to opt out," Lynch said. "We had a great conversation with him. We had a great meeting, and I think we had a very frank and honest discussion, and what we both agreed was that under the current construct of the situation, everything, the contract, it wasn't going to work." https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/the-49ers-wouldve-cut-colin-kaepernick-if-he-hadnt-opted-out-of-his-contract/ Many believed that Kaepernick was going to be released anyway had he not voluntarily removed himself from the roster and, in an interview with Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, 49ers GM John Lynch confirmed as much. "Yes, and we had that conversation with him. So I don't want to characterize it as he made a decision to leave here. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/05/31/colin-kaepernick-49ers-release-opt-out-john-lynch ... I think weve been very up front with it...Yes, he was not going to be here under the construct of his contract. We gave him the option, You can opt out, we can release you, whatever. And he chose to opt out, but that was just a formality. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/05/31/john-lynch-49ers-would-have-cut-kaepernick-if-he-hadnt-opted-out/ One of the popular narratives regarding Colin Kaepernicks lingering unemployment is that he has only himself to blame after opting out of his 49ers contract. This flawed assumption overlooks the fact that the 49ers would have cut Kaepernick if he hadnt opted out. HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?!?!? some of you have said in response. Heres how. 49ers G.M. John Lynch said so on Wednesday, in a PFT Live interview to be aired later this week. Yes, Lynch said regarding whether Kaepernick would have been cut if he hadnt opted out. Straight from the 49ers GM himself. Kaepernick opting out didn't matter at all. Not. One.
