Broncos sure don’t seem to want Colin Kaepernick all that much

Maybe we need to rethink the Denver Broncos-Colin Kaepernick saga. The Broncos aren't showing many signs that they're really all that into Kaepernick as their next quarterback. The Broncos, who need a starting quarterback for this season, are asking Kaepernick to take a pay cut to $7 million this year and $7 million next year to facilitate a trade, according to Mindi Bach of CSN Bay Area. Kaepernick's San Francisco 49ers contract calls for him to make salaries of $11.9 million in 2016 and $14.5 million next season. So Denver is asking Kaepernick to give up $12.9 million in base salary the next two years, and Bach reported he might be giving up as much as $16.2 million the next two years, when you count other incentives. Does that sound like a request from a team that is sold on Kaepernick as its answer at quarterback? That request in the second year is important. We already knew the Broncos asked for a pay cut to $7 million for 2016. Given Denver's salary-cap issues this year, that makes sense. Although, if the Broncos loved Kaepernick and thought he was the same player he was in 2012 and 2013, they'd make his $11.9 million salary work under the cap — that's a modest...

The San Francisco 49ers are in good shape for 2024 when it comes to the wide receiver position. What that room looks like after this coming season remains to be seen. Most believe the 49ers will give Brandon Aiyuk a new contract around the start of training camp. But there are no guarantees. As it was reported on Friday, Aiyuk unfollowed the 49ers on Instagram, much like Deebo Samuel did two years ago.
It seems to be how modern-day players negotiate. It's not necessarily anything to be concerned about, but you never truly know how these things will end. There is still potential that the 49ers could trade the star receiver in the next couple of weeks.

According to Damond Talbot of NFL Draft Diamonds, the San Francisco 49ers are hosting former Iowa tight end Erick All on a pre-draft visit.
"Erick All is a beast on the field, I would not be shocked to see a team like the Niners draft him and beat teams with him like they do with [TE George] Kittle week in and week out," Talbot wrote.
