It appears that Colin Kaepernick’s open workout is generating interest from some teams.
On Tuesday afternoon it was reported that the NFL had set up an opportunity for Kaepernick to work out in front of representatives from teams around the league.
The NFL arranged this workout opportunity for Colin Kaepernick, and teams will have the opportunity to evaluate his readiness and level of interest in resuming his NFL career. His agents have said he wants to return to the NFL, and the league hopes this provides that chance.

Colin Kaepernick's reps asked the NFL for a list of personnel executives and coaches who would be attending the workout; they are hoping and expecting the NFL to submit the list of personnel executives and coaches that will attend on Saturday.

In the memo, the league said: “Earlier this year, we discussed some possible steps with his representatives and they recently emphasized his level of preparation and that he is ready to work out for clubs and be interviewed by them. We have therefore arranged this opportunity for him to work out, and for all clubs to have the opportunity to evaluate his current readiness and level of interest in resuming his NFL career.”
According to ESPN’s Josina Anderson, the Dallas Coybows and another unnamed NFC team are interested in sending a representative to check out Kaepenrick.
Just spoke to a source from an NFC NFL team that told me their team will review the Colin Kaepernick workout in the morning. The source's opinion: "We have nothing to lose by attending Kaepernick's workout, but I still think for us it would just be an information-gathering trip."

After speaking to another team from my last tweet, as of now, I'm told there is interest within the #Cowboys organization to send at least one representative to Colin Kaepernick's workout, per source.

Kaepernick reacted to the news about the NFL organizing a work out for him by saying that he was excited and ready to show that he’s ready to get back in the league.
I’m just getting word from my representatives that the NFL league office reached out to them about a workout in Atlanta on Saturday. I’ve been in shape and ready for this for 3 years, can’t wait to see the head coaches and GMs on Saturday.
