Regardless of whether or not Elway was being misleading, the problem is that Kaepernick is suing the NFL because he says there is collusion to keep him out of the league. The plain fact is that he can't get a job in the league because he's too expensive. Before last season he met with the Seahawks about the backup position and apparently wanted anywhere from $3-5 million to be the backup. There are very few teams that would waste that salary cap space for a backup QB, when that can pay for another player or two who can actually contribute to the games. The Seahawks declined signing him, and got a backup that only cost them $700k for the season. It's hard to win a collusion case when you have job offers but you just don't like what they are paying.
