Elway Gives Deposition For Kaepernick VS NFL

Also deposed by Kaepernick’s lawyers were Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Baltimore general manager Ozzie Newsome and head coach John Harbaugh, Seattle general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll and NFL owners Stephen Ross and Bob McNair.

Elway was trying to acquire Kaepernick from the San Francisco 49ers in the offseason leading up to the 2016 season weeks after the Broncos won Super Bowl 50 but it was Kaepernick who nixed the deal because he would not accept a pay cut.

Although Kaepernick began his national anthem demonstrations after he nixed the trade to the Broncos, Elway already had his quarterback room set, first with Trevor Siemian, Mark Sanchez and Lynch; then with Siemian, Lynch and Chad Kelly and now with Case Keenum who led the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC Championship Game last season Lynch and Chad Kelly.
