Kaepernick not taking pay cut, no trade

[Jmac]

Nor will the Niners pay off part of his contract. Per Jason Cole on Twitter. Denver not biting and are walking away.  Good luck with the Chipster.

bleacher Report's Jason Cole reports Colin Kaepernick will not be traded to the Broncos.

Per Cole, Kaepernick will not take a pay cut, and the 49ers refuse to "pay off part of deal to make trade happen." You should never say never in the high-stakes game of NFL negotiations, but it appears the 49ers and Kap are now working toward a reconciliation. Kap reported for the start of the team's offseason program on Monday. By staying in San Francisco, Kap would be locking himself into $14.3 million between salary and bonuses. He's probably decided it's worth gambling on himself for 2016.

trade value for the 30 pick just went up... denver has to take a qb

[Nick_81]

Can't blame him at all.  Take the 14.3 and try to raise his stock.  If he can't, he still got 14.3 this season, and somebody will sign him next year for backup or competition.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Look for the Broncos to trade for Brian Hoyer and then draft a QB this year. Let Hoyer and Mark "Dirty" Sanchez battle it out in camp.

Not sure how to feel.  Not sad that's for sure.  Like I said I hate San Fran more than Denver.

not afraid to admit i'm happy about that

kaepernick flamed out in SF but he's still young with a huge amount of talent.  the possibility of him having tangibly improved with a change of scenery and being on a team that's still pretty stacked like denver's wasn't appealing to me.

Personally, I think that it's a dumb decision, but admittedly I never believed in Kelly's long term success.  Denver is a more stable environment where he is almost guaranteed the starting gig. You would think that he'd beat out Gabbert in San Fran, but you'd have thought that last season (and don't use the smokescreen of injury). I think the kid is missing the bigger picture. The potential for a train wreck is real in Frisco. When they get behind in so many games, which they will because the defense is lacking, all the pressure will be on Kap. And one of his major security blankets in Boldin is probably not going to be there. Kap in a fast offense based on timing...I don't know. Frisco isn't Philly where Kelly had a bunch of talent when he made his grand entrance.

He's a better fit with Kelly anyways. Denver has a better roster but I don't see Kubiak sticking with the guy the minute he shows he's not willing do it Kubiak's way. Probably a good move on his part even if staying comes with it's own possible pitfalls.

Kap needs to do it another way.

Kubiak Mike Shanahaning him like Shanahan did Bob isn't the way he should do it.

I agree, but you're comparing apples to oranges. What Sham---err Shanahan did to RG3 was bordering on criminal. Part if the problem was letting the tail wag the dog. If anything, what you're suggesting is that Kubiak will be on the other end of the spectrum. Personally, I believe that Kubiac was a better QB coach than HC. I think that hr would help Kap, not hinder him. When a coach has a good record, perhaps you should listen to him. Looks like we'll never know though. Let's see trains collide on the Bay.

considering they won the SB with a broken down Manning, I am quite glad they didn't get a guy who torched the Packers in Lambeau for 200 yards on the ground alone only 3 years ago.
