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.
