Of course, if you're going to sign a prove it one year deal, why not make it on a superbowl playing team?

It's crazy how quickly a really physically gifted player can go down hill.

It's looking like pretty much a done deal in the trade of Kaep to Broncos. Just the small issue of him restructuring.

So that means SF wants a QB at 7. Can't trade down now.
Who knows with Chip. He is the most unpredictable coach. For all I know he thinks Gabbert will be perfect for his offense. But regardless I wouldn't feel comfortable moving down very far for Lynch. If we want either of the other 2 you take them at 4. You can't risk it.

Well, looks like the Kaep trade is off. He isn't willing to take any sort of pay cut, and the Broncos aren't willing to take his current contract.

Why would he take a paycut. If the 49ers cut him he will get a signing bonus and good contract out of the Broncos. Plus keep the guarantees from the 49ers. If the 49ers keep him he keeps his money. There is no incentive to take a paycut.

I think the speculation was that he wanted out of SF and would take a pay cut to do so. Apparently, the speculation was wrong.

Colin Kaepernick trade to Broncos being held up by $4.9 million

Adam Schefter
ESPN Senior Writer

San Francisco and Denver have the parameters of an agreement in principle on a trade for quarterback Colin Kaepernick, sources said.

But before a deal is completed, the 49ers, Broncos and Kaepernick have to agree on who will pay the quarterback's $11.9 million guaranteed salary for this upcoming season, according to a source.

The Broncos are willing to pay $7 million, a source confirmed to ESPN. But Denver and Kaepernick would like the San Francisco to pay the remaining $4.9 million; the 49ers have been unwilling, according to a source, believing they should not have to pay for a player they'd like to keep on their roster. Kaepernick has also been unwilling to forfeit the $4.9 million to make the deal work, according to a source.

A high-level source says "it would take two seconds" for the teams to finalize the proposed deal. The compensation in the trade is a nonissue, per sources familiar with deal. It will be a midround pick and sources from both teams said that will not be any holdup and they can "finalize it with one phone call."

Kaepernick and Broncos executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway have met twice, as the San Francisco Chronicle previously reported. Kaepernick and Denver have made progress on the other years in the quarterback's contract, which runs through 2020, leaving the 2016 season as the only obstacle, according to a source.

Denver, which lost Peyton Manning to retirement and Brock Osweiler to the Houston Texans in free agency, has long been linked to Kaepernick and has reportedly envisioned him competing with the recently acquired Mark Sanchez.

The 49ers should eat that money for the sake of getting compensation for Kaep. They can't seriously think they can keep him and make him productive this season? IF they cut Kaep they get zero in return. They should just be thrilled they are actually getting some sort of legit draft pick compensation.
