There's a 2 million de-escalator for every year he isn't all pro or a SB winner.

By comparison, here's Ryan Tannehill's contract
2016 - 11m (part of rookie deal)
2017 - 20m
2018 - 20m
2019 - 21m
2020 - 20m

Kaepernick's contract, if he's a starter, is very low once the de-escalator kicks in. I think people don't realize what mid level guys in the NFL get paid these days. There are 17 QBs who make more than Kaepernick next season. Tom Brady actually makes less because he's taken so much less over the years and Dalton might well get a new deal which would mean every QB on their second or third deal earns more.
