Colin Kaepernick was not seen as an option for the Denver Broncos even as Drew Lock is set to be out with an injury and Jeff Driskel only winning one game in eight career starts. “His name hasn't come up in the brief discussions I've had with John [Elway] at this point,” head coach Vic Fangio said, according to the team’s website. The 49ers nearly traded Kaepernick to the Broncos in 2016, ESPN reported. The Broncos were set to pay at least $7 million and leaving $4.9 million to the 49ers, according to ESPN. San Francisco was reportedly unwilling to pay and Kaepernick was unwilling to forfeit the money to make the trade work.
