Although no charges have been filed as of yet this is obviously a story to keep an eye one. Kaepernick, who is regarded as one of the best QB’s in the league was looking to get a contract extension this Summer from the Niners, a team he’s led to two straight NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl appearance.
TMZ also notes that Kaepernick was at the hotel in question as early as April 5th where he hung out with a wedding party by the pool.
The Big Lead also notes that Kaepernick has been quiet on Instagram since April 6th and quiet on Twitter since April 7th.
Stay tuned.
