He could not have been cut because he can't pass a physical. He was going to get paid his $12.9 anyway. Denver has no cap space so they are trying to get Kap to take a pay cut or get SF to pay part of his salary. Both have said, "HELL NO!" You have to remember, they only have $14.1 counted against he cap for Miller, who is asking for $22-$25. They will have to structure the contract in a way that counts very little towards the cap to give them enough to pay Kap. They can cut Clady to free up some space also. Most of the Bronco fans feel Elway is playing this perfectly and he is negotiating from a position of strength because SF doesn't want Kap (contrary to every quote from Kelly) and he will be a distraction and be a problem (despite him knowing he is playing for his next contract). They are convinced that SF will cave and pay the $5 they are asking and take a 5th round pick. If Elway trades a 5th round pick for Kap and gets SF to throw in $5 million, I will be impressed.
