Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears Rumored to be in Trade Talks for 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick

The painful thing about this time of year for NFL fans is that you may see some of your favorite football players walk away from your team and on to another, but the fun does not end there. Sometimes they leave, but not of their own accord--they get traded.

Depending on how much weight you want to give the rumor mill it sounds like the San Francisco 49ers could be looking to get rid of quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Sounds ridiculous right? Before we brush it off as total BS we have to remember that the 49ers just pushed a head coach out the door that led the team to the NFC championship game three times and the Super Bowl once. So as crazy as it sounds there could be come legitimacy to it.

According to Jayson Braddock of KBME SportsTalk 790 in Houston two teams have already inquired in to trading for Kaepernick:

The Eagles are confirmed as one of the two teams in talks and an unnamed NFC team as the other. (Colin Kaepernick trade)

The Eagles would be a good fit for him. Chip Kelly would love to have someone as athletic as Kaepernick behind center. That way he will not have to give away the farm in order to trade up for Marcus Mariota.

The other team interested is the Chicago Bears:

Confirmed the NFC team is the Chicago Bears. (Colin Kaepernick trade)

If they are going to make a move they are going to do it before Tuesday so that they do not have to swallow Jay Cutler's massive guarantee that kicks in when the new NFL year starts.
