Hmmmmm

Sources told ESPN that Kaepernick and his reps weren't alerted (about the workout) until Tuesday morning. When notified, the quarterback's reps asked for the workout to be on a Tuesday, which typically is when all NFL workouts take place, since head coaches and general managers can more easily attend. This Saturday, almost half of the NFL teams will be traveling to games, and most of the rest of the coaches and players will be heading to their team hotels to prepare for their games the next day.

But the NFL said the workout had to be on a Saturday, sources told ESPN. When the league was asked if it could be on the following Saturday -- by making it this Saturday, the 32 teams only have about three days to make a decision on whether to attend and who to send -- the NFL said no and didn't provide a reason why.
Sources told ESPN that the NFL league office also said that none of the 32 teams had been made aware of the workout prior to the memo being sent. When Kaepernick's representatives asked if a team or teams had asked for the workout, they explained that the NFL league office said, "We can't tell you that."


Because of the shroud of mystery around the workout and because none of the 32 NFL teams had been informed prior to Tuesday, Kaepernick's representatives began to question the legitimacy of the workout and process and whether it was just a PR stunt by the league, sources told ESPN. The NFL league office was told that because GMs and head coaches make personnel decisions, especially as important as the quarterback position is, that they wanted to see a list of personnel executives and coaches who would be attending the workout.

As it stands now, the ball is in the NFL's court to submit the list of personnel executives and coaches who will attend on Saturday.
One source from an NFC team told ESPN's Josina Anderson that the team will review whether to attend the Kaepernick workout on Wednesday morning. "We have nothing to lose by attending Kaepernick's workout, but I still think for us it would just be an information-gathering trip," the source said. Another source told Anderson that there is interest in the Dallas Cowboys organization to send at least one representative to the workout.

Honestly, I’m slightly optimistic that Kaepernick will find a team. All signs seem to be pointing to a well established team getting him & the NFL PR machine getting behind it. If he doesn’t get signed after this then he’s never coming back.
 
Confirmed/rumored teams scouts that will be at Kaepernick’s workout.

Falcons, Bengals, Cowboys, Broncos, Lions, Patriots, Dolphins, Giants, Jets, Bucs.

Everyone else is undecided. No team has outright said there would not be representation yet.
