Colin Kaepernick congratulates Blaine Gabbert after 49ers' win in Chicago

Despite being benched earlier this season, Colin Kaepernick is still pulling for Blaine Gabbert to succeed. 

Shortly after the 49ers were able to pull off an unlikely win in Chicago on Sunday, Kaepernick expressed his enthusiasm on Twitter. 

Kaepernick, who met with the 49ers this past week, could still have a future in San Francisco, according to an ESPN report.

Kaepernick signed a six-year, $114 million contract with the team last year. The 49ers have until April 1 of each calendar year through 2018 to cut the quarterback before that year's salary becomes fully guaranteed.
