Following up on a
previous item. ... As the 49ers try to get back to the Super Bowl and win it, they've got some offseason business to deal with. Their priority list contains at least three names: Jim Harbaugh, Colin Kaepernick, and Anquan Boldin. Per a league source, the plans will come into better focus after next week's Scouting Combine. For now, the goal is to extend Harbaugh and Kaepernick, and to keep Boldin, a looming free agent.

As PFT's Mike Florio notes, each situation presents a challenge. The 49ers and Harbaugh tried to work out an extension to the original five-year deal inked in 2011 last year, but an agreement wasn't reached. With his brother, John Harbaugh, making in the neighborhood of $7 million in Baltimore, Jim may want as much or more. There's also speculation that Jim may want more say over personnel, given reports that emerged last season regarding friction between Harbaugh and G.M. Trent Baalke. As to Kaepernick, it won't be easy to apply a fair value. With performances that ping-pong between pedestrian and Pro Bowl-caliber, it could be hard for Kaepernick and the 49ers to assess the right value for a multi-year, especially in light of the salary cap, which continues to grow at a rate slower than the top of the quarterback market. Boldin becomes the biggest potential conundrum. With 53 other free-agent receivers available, how much will Boldin be worth? Pulling off all three will be a major accomplishment if the team can get them done.
