Broncos have parameters of deal in place for Kaepernick

EDIT. Sorry for the original thread title, I read the first part of Schefter's tweet and thought the deal was done and came to CP to post it.
Spoiler!
San Francisco and Denver have the parameters of an agreement in principle on a trade for Colin Kaepernick, sources said, but before any deal can be completed, the quarterback and the Broncos still have to agree on a restructured contract, and the two sides have not been close.
Kaepernick and the Broncos continue talking, trying to see if they can bridge their contractual differences, sources said.
Kaepernick is due to make $11.9 million in base salary this season and has a $15.9 million salary cap number for 2016. The Broncos want a much friendlier cap number and contract, and need to see whether they can get it.
Kaepernick and Broncos executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway have met at least once, as the San Francisco Chronicle reported, trying to see if the two sides can work out their differences.
The agreement on trade compensation between Denver and San Francisco will not be an issue in any potential trade for Kaepernick, sources said. The compensation is expected to be some type of mid-round pick.
The real question is whether the Broncos and Kaepernick can work out a restructured deal; the Broncos and 49ers already have the parameters of theirs in place.
Yeah that was my bad. I read, "SF-DEN have parameters of trade agreement on Colin Kaepernick" but didn't get to the second half of Schefter's tweet before I hit submit.

These types of trades have worked out well for KC, hopefully this gets done for you Knowmo.

What if Sanchez wins the starting job anyway?
A QB contro in Pile High would be just noogies for Elway.

Maybe Elway can teach him to make reads.
I doubt it.

****ing yuck. If he is half as bad in the locker room as is being reported I don't like this idea. If they allow him to join the team it had better be a very team friendly deal.

Nobody's scared of Colin ****ing Kaepernick.

I wanted nothing to do with Hoyer/Fitz. At least Kaepernick has upside.

Well, I'm glad they did it so that the Chiefs didn't have to in a couple of years.
