The Daily News has learned that embattled 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick wants out of San Francisco after a forgettable 2015 that included on-field struggles that resulted in a benching midway through the season and a coaching change after it. The Jets are his preferred destination, according to sources.

The Jets, aware of Kaepernick’s desire to play for them, are intrigued, but still in the early stages of their offseason planning and evaluation, according to sources. They’re also deathly afraid of tampering (see: Darrelle Revis situation, circa 2015).

Welcome to the Mass Media.

1. "according to sources"
2. "according to more sources"
3. Nothing is happening "right now"
4. When it doesn't happen, it's because of "tampering"

Basically this is complete horseshite. And people laugh at shite from Bleacher Report.

But that won't stop this being a trending topic on all the sports networks tomorrow.

The power of the media: A newspaper in NYC just invented a story out of thin air with evidence about as thin as a runway model, and now everyone will talk about it.
