He had a chance to play in Denver. He turned Elway down.
(Yes, Elway wanted to bring in Kaep. Shows just how much he knows about the QB position in the modern NFL.)
Elway contacted the Niners to try to trade for Kaepernick during the 2016 offseason, one year before Kaepernick became a free agent. IIRC, he asked Kaepernick to take a salary far less than what the Niners would pay him for the 2016-2017 season, so he understandably didn't agree to that. And who knows if the Broncos would have kept him after the 2016-2017 season? He would probably be in the same position that he is in now, with no teams having made an offer to him since he became a free agent in 2017.
