The proposed $4.9 million pay cut the Denver Broncos have reportedly asked quarterback Colin Kaepernick to accept this season might not be as dramatic as it first appears.

Due to the discrepancy in state income taxes in California and Colorado, the difference in net pay could mean the sides do not have to bend as far to reach a middle ground.

The difference in Kaepernick's scheduled net pay from the 49ers and the Denver Broncos' reported proposal is actually an estimated $2 million, according to a tax expert.
