Apparently Elway tried to sign him but he balked at only 7 mill guaranteed? So they drafted Paxton Lynch instead...
Now, I am on record as not thinking Kaepernick was that good anymore (he got worse every year of his career) but he was def better than Lynch ever will be.
Gotta wonder what he was thinking though…that team only needed a decent QB to contend.

important to note this was BEFORE the anthem controversy began. already see people making fools of themselves saying “i thought he said he was getting blackballed.” stop that.

Contingent on Kap losing $5M in guaranteed $$$
Read the whole article
"Elway met with Kaepernick twice in 2016 as the Broncos and San Francisco 49erstried to work out a trade that would have sent Kaepernick to Denver. At the time, the Broncos wanted to trim Kaepernick's guaranteed salary from $11.9 million to $7 million, whether that would involve the 49ers paying the difference or Kaepernick simply taking the pay cut."
LOL@make Elway the same offer and see if he takes it

Sure. I wasn't intimating anything about the collusion case.

Yeah, I'm just talking about that would have been a good move, from a football perspective, I'm surprised he didn't take it.

Anyone who saw him play that year saw that those were the emptiest of stats.

At this point no team signs him after this. There's not one team in the league that gives him a chance because of this fake patriotism respect the police bs narrative conservative media pushes.
Go to Canada and make the best of it. Only issue he has in Canada is the proud boys. Other than that he should be bare minimum better than Johnny Manziel.
