On its face, there appears to be a good chance Colin Kaepernick’s last game with the 49ers is coming Sunday, fittingly, against the Seahawks.

The embattled quarterback has done all he can to deflect speculation about his future during his regular media availability this season. But behind the scenes, Kaepernick and his agents worked to renegotiate his contract in October allowing both sides a chance to move on this spring.

“It was something that we thought was mutually beneficial while doing the contract,” Kaepernick said Nov. 1. “That’s a long ways out.”

With the season finale upcoming, the ultimate tipping point in the relationship between player and organization is now in plain view.

The new deal essentially ripped up Kaepernick’s six-year extension he signed in 2014, giving him the ability to opt out after the season. In turn, Kaepernick gave his injury guarantee, which forced the 49ers to bring him back in 2016 even after he requested a trade in February.

Kaepernick was asked about his future Tuesday and maintained his week-to-week mantra, negating talk of 2017 as a distraction.

“My focus once again is this week and making sure that I’m doing everything I can to prepare and to try to help my teammates prepare this week to get a win and I think that’s where this whole team’s focus is,” Kaepernick said.

This year has been an eventful one for Kaepernick.

He had surgery to repair knee and thumb injuries in January. He requested a trade in February. He met with the Broncos to talk about a new contract to help facilitate a trade to Denver in the spring.

He lost the competition to start in August to Blaine Gabbert after getting shut down from the first two preseason games with shoulder soreness.

Then there was his national anthem protest, which made him one of the most polarizing figures in the country. Then came the re-done contract and his return to the starting lineup in October.

But, despite all that, Kaepernick maintains it hasn’t been difficult to keep his focus on football in seven-day stanzas during the season.

“When I step into this building my focus is football and what I have to do to try to win and try to help this team win and I think our players, our coaches all have that same mentality,” Kaepernick said. “So, to me it’s an easy environment to come into and work and make sure you’re staying focused on that.”

Kaepernick will likely speak to reporters twice more – after Sunday’s game and exit interviews Monday – before leaving the team’s facility for the offseason, where he might never return as a member of the 49ers.
