The Facts: According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, Kaepernick wants out of San Francisco. His preferred destination is the Jets.

Diehards Line:It’s unclear whether the Jets want Kaepernick. As PFT's Mike Florio notes, they’d need to tread lightly in order to avoid a tampering allegation.

The Jets have Geno Smith under contract, and 2015 starter Ryan Fitzpatrick is due to become a free agent in March. ... Stay tuned. We'll follow up if this leads anywhere.
