Broncos have parameters of deal in place for Kaepernick

SF-DEN have parameters of trade agreement on Colin Kaepernick, but still need restructured deal to complete... https://t.co/93waYznrUa

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.

Ok, what's wrong with the general running of the team?

What's sad is that you don't really even think that Andy Reid is a great coach. This is just a chance for you be a dick again, something you thrive on.


Like Clayton, you're another person that CP would be better without.

Well, I found this interesting:

If the Broncos, the 49ers, and Kaepernick simply can’t work out a revised contract, the question becomes whether the 49ers will simply cut him loose and pay the difference between what he makes elsewhere this year and the fully-guaranteed $11.9 million.

They are saying that if the 9ers do cut Kap then the 9ers are only on the hook for the difference between his new money and his old contract. I thought that if we was cut he got paid out, and then whatever deal he got was a completely different thing unrelated to his old contract, which would considered to be terminated and unrelated. So if this is true then Elway is negotiating from the standpoint that the 9ers will cut Kap if he isn't traded.

Do great QBs make great coaches, or vice versa?

I think it's the former.

Rumors are that Denver wants to pay him 14 million for two years
