I\u2019m excited about what\u2019s to come.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wagaman reports Kaepernick\u2019s demeanor was notably more positive than last season when he was perceived as sullen and became subject of locker room&amp;nbsp;controversy before requesting a trade away from the team.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Quarterbacks with the most to prove in 2016: Colin Kaepernick&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The quarterback was reportedly nearly traded to the Denver Broncos, but the deal reportedly fell through after Kaepernick expressed he was unwilling to take a pay cut. Kaepernick said on Thursday that the trade request was simply a business decision.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This week Kaepernick was cleared to participate in on-field practice for the first time since undergoing off-season surgeries on his right thumb, left knee and left shoulder this off-season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI was happy to get back on the field this week,\u201D&amp;nbsp;Kaepernick said. \u201CEverything\u2019s coming along and progressing as planned. At this point I can really start to get rolling. I\u2019m excited to get back on the field, get healthy and be ready for this training camp.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
