Niners are gonna be on the hook for $17,000,000 next season with next to no return on investment.
Um, no.
49ers only on the hook if he can't play next season.
Wrong. Niners are on the hook if he can not pass the physical by April 1st. Then his 12mil salary will be guaranteed. But it might be bennificial to Kap to be healthy by March 9th so he can get in another team. The ball is in his court.
Get on a new team or bone the niners for 12mil. Hmmmm what to do.
This is kind of odd. No mention of injury and then suddenly he has a torn labrum? That is an injury that is not hard to fake and unless he is going to a team physician he could easily find a doctor to do surgery for pay and recognition.
We will see how this plays out but IMO he is aware he will not get near 12 mil on his next contract. It is very possible he is just playing the system to get his guaranteed money. It will be pretty obvious if he doesn't clear his physical before April.
I can't help but wonder if his agent is suggesting this. Him being released would cost the agent millions also and I don't think there is any love lost between Kaep and the organization.
Maybe this will be Karma for stealing 2 mil from Brown a couple years ago when he missed voluntary OTA's and the team elected to take his money rather than remind him of what was at stake.
