According to Jason Cole of Bleacher Report, Colin Kaepernick won’t be coming to Denver.

The Denver Broncos have agreed to pay for $7 million of Kaepernick’s $11.9 million salary, but no more. That means that either Kaepernick has to agree to a pay cut or the 49ers have to agree to pay the remaining part of his salary. So far, neither have done so, and Cole seems to believe that neither will.
The caveat probably being … for now.
Until Kaepernick rescinds his trade demand, a trade is still on the table. For Broncos fans, if you’re hoping to see Kaepernick in the orange and blue, the hope would be that he puts up enough of a stink that San Francisco finally agrees to pay his remaining salary, just to get him out of their building.
But as long as that trade demand remains, a trade is still very much in play.
