 According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Kaepernick met with at
Elway's house on Thursday.
Kaepernick and Elway have met at least twice since March 15, the
newspaper reported. Kaepernick has spent his offseason rehabbing his
left shoulder, right thumb and left knee in Vail, Colo., which is
about 100 miles from Denver.
The 49ers have granted Kaepernick's agents permission to seek a
trade.
Kaepernick's $11.9 million base salary for the 2016 season became
guaranteed with the 49ers on Thursday.
According to reports, the Broncos are interested in trading for
Kaepernick but only if the 49ers quarterback accepts a pay cut.
After Peyton Manning retired and heir-apparent starter Brock
Osweiler bolted to the Houston Texans, the Broncos acquired veteran
Mark Sanchez from the Philadelphia Eagles last month.
Trevor Siemian, a 2015 seventh-round pick who didn't play a snap as
a rookie, also is on the Broncos' roster.

Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis made a return trip to Las Vegas as
he continues to explore options and flirt with other cities if he
decides to move his team.
Davis toured UNLV's Sam Boyd Stadium on Friday to evaluate whether
the school could serve as a temporary home for the Raiders if a deal
is ultimately reached to build a new domed stadium a few blocks off
the Las Vegas Strip. Sam Boyd Stadium currently seats 35,500 people.
The Las Vegas Sands Corp. has proposed a $1 billion domed stadium
project near UNLV, which is between the airport and The Strip.
The Raiders will pay $3.5 million in rent to play at O.co Coliseum
in 2016, an increase of more than triple what the team paid last
year.
