Kaepernick to Denver might be happening

lol Denver won't be poo next season. Elway surprisingly isn't taking the QB position seriously enough. They should've went after Fitzpatrick or Glennon. Now they have a couple of the worst QBs in the league fighting for the starting spot. lulz.

They're probably focused on their QB position through the draft.

People laughing at this, but considering the Broncos just won the superbowl with only defense and now they have an atheltic QB that can actually make plays, I don't think it's all that bad of a move. Pretty much the same situation when the 49ers had that defense and Kaep was making plays with his feet

Give me a list of teams that have won back to back Super Bowls with complete crap at QB. I'll wait.

Doesn't matter, it's a good move for the Broncos. They will be right back in the playoffs next year. However, winning back to back superbowls is a different animal. They will have a chance though.

How to they have the cap money to do this?  

They don't.  They are counting on Kaep taking a $7 mil pay cut.  Ballsy even to let this get out.  If it weren't Kaep I'd say no way it gets done but he wants to leave 9ers (don't blame him) and a one year prove it deal makes sense.  But this is a low ball offer of epic proportions.  It really speaks to Elway's ego and also shows why the ultimate demise of the broncos is a season (or less) away.  Kaep just gets his $11+mil contract guaranteed yesterday... GUARANTEED? and he is going to take huge paycut to play for the cash-strapped broncos?

This is a good move for the Broncos.  Kaepernick did his damage being coached under a former QB backed by a really good defense.  Being coached by a former QB in Kubiak with that D would give him a greater shot at success I think.  Elway knows what he's doing clearly.

also, per rotoworld 

According to ESPN Broncos reporter Jeff Legwold, Denver will "have to make a move" with LT Ryan Clady if the team acquires Colin Kaepernick.

Even if Kaepernick takes a big pay cut to join the Broncos, something he's been unwilling to do, Denver will have to make some adjustments to get under the $155.27 million salary cap for 2016. Cutting Clady makes the most sense, thought that would leave the Broncos with $1.2 million in dead money. Punter Britton Colquitt ($4 million cap hit in 2016) could be another cap casualty while Chris Harris, Aqib Talib and Demaryius Thomas could also be asked to restructure their contracts. Denver has just $1.62 million in cap space right now, easily the lowest number in the league.

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
