Technically correct. But the alternative that he knew would happen was he'd be cut and make no money, so indirectly it would not have been a paycut because it would have been a job making more than $0.

Its not news and he'd have been stupid to do it.
He'd be stupid to take a job making money instead of getting cut and making no money if his goal was to play and make money?

How? It's saying he could have had a job in 2017 but chose not to.

You’re wrong, the offer was in the spring of 2016. The protests started in August 2016.

Wrong again, the offer was made the day his contract became guaranteed for that season.

Wrong and wrong again.

I think Kap is a douche but if your going argue about stuff, get your facts straight.

Here is the article from the Denver Post in April 2016. https://www.denverpost.com/2016/04/02/broncos-make-push-to-acquire-colin-kaepernick-but-contract-an-issue/
