Kaepernick was deemed not a fit for Shanahan's 2017 offensive scheme and allowed to leave.

Colin Kaepernick was the then-starter for the San Francisco 49ers before Kyle Shanahan took over as head coach before the 2017 season. Shanahan came with plans to overhaul the team's offensive scheme, and Kaepernick was not an apparent fit for his offense, so Shanahan allowed Kaepernick to walk, leading to the 49ers' trade deadline acquisition of Jimmy Garoppolo.
