The Browns, with Josh McCown listed as their No. 1 QB, clearly are in the market for a starting quarterback and have the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft, while the Texans are looking for an upgrade over frequently injured Brian Hoyer.

Beyond Baalke’s and new Niners coach Chip Kelly’s willingness to part with Kaepernick, who was benched this season for Blaine Gabbert under the previous coaching staff, there’s the issue of his contract.

Kaepernick will be guaranteed $11.9 million on April 1, unless the team acquiring him can renegotiate his contract.
