Moon: Pay cut shouldn't keep Kaepernick from 'perfect situation' in Denver

Trade talks between the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers now appear to have stalled, as Colin Kaepernick is reportedly unwilling to take a pay cut as part of any deal.

Given the opportunity he'd have in joining the reigning Super Bowl champions, Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon says Kaepernick shouldn't be opposed to such an arrangement.

"I think it's a perfect situation for Colin and he gets to be around John Elway, he gets to be around Gary Kubiak, who was a quarterback, so you'll have good mentorship around you," Moon told Nick Jhabvala of the Denver Post.

"In San Francisco, he was around defensive-oriented coaches, like Jim Tomsula. When Jim Harbaugh, an offensive-minded guy, was there, that's when he had his best year. I just hope his ego doesn't get in the way, because they’re asking him to take a pay cut. He can make that money back."

Citing the emphasis on the running game and working play-action passes off roll outs, Moon also explained that he believes Denver's offense is "tailor-made" for Kaepernick's abilities.

While it remains to be seen whether negotiations can start moving back in the right direction, Kaepernick will almost certainly be intrigued by the idea of heading to Denver.

The 28-year-old would be slated to step in as the unquestioned starter on a team once again expected to enter the season as a Super Bowl contender.
