SANTA CLARA-The San Francisco 49ers have signed Colin Kaepernick to a six-year contract extension worth over $110 million. The deal will keep the dual threat quarterback in San Francisco until the 2020 season. Kaepernick signed the deal on Wednesday after a long offseason of contract negotiations with his agents and the 49ers. 

The play-making quarterback was a second-round draft pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, 36th overall. He’s led the 49ers to three straight NFC Championship games, and one Super Bowl appearance. He has the most road wins in San Francisco playoff history. 

In 3 seasons with the 49ers. Kaepernick has started 23 games and six playoff games in his short career. The 6-foot-4, 230 pound quarterback has completed 382 of 639 pass attempts for 5,046 yards and 31 touchdowns. In the six playoff games, the quarterback has thrown for 1,374 and seven touchdown passes. 

Kaepernick also set the regular season and playoff record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 181 yards on the ground against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Divisional round. 

The Colin Kaepernick signing secures the superstar quarterback a long term deal with the team that he grew up rooting for. Kaepernick  will have a lot of expectations with the new deal to win a championship, but he says that that will not effect his play.
