Your comebacks are weak sauce and you deserve to have the stupid slapped off your face.

Is Saturday a bad day for these?Nah. If he pitched to them, 2 things would have been different.
1) wouldn't happen on a Saturday
2) it wouldn't be a last minute notice like this. Would have been planned weeks or months ago
Publicity stunt. But wth. Where are our resident kaep swingers on this.
He might be as good as some back-ups but he doesn't think he should make back-up money. Didn't he turn down some decent money with SF and the Broncos?
The NFL on Thursday announced that 11 teams would be attending the workout: the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Giants, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Redskins.
Which of those 11 teams are more likely to sign him, given that he does enough to be considered for a contract?
Cleveland............. don't even think about it. FUCK.
I'm really surprised they are on this list. Not saying Baker is great right now, but he's 100% got the potential to be a great QB in the future.
None of them. None of them has $18M/yr to give to a backup QB who hasn't taken a snap in 3 years.The NFL on Thursday announced that 11 teams would be attending the workout: the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Giants, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Redskins.

Was part of his settlement with the NFL. They had to host him for teams to come see.I don't know if that's the best way to phrase it. Was he invited to work out? I thought he was just working out and invited teams to come see.
Why? Specifically, why do you hope he gets an offer?This is promising. Teams are actually reaching out inquiring about this workout. I hope he gets an offer.
Doesn’t look like it. It appears that 2-3 times since the cut from SF, teams were willing to sign him and he said no because they couldn’t agree on compensation. He was always going to take a hit from $19M/yr contract, but whatever he might have earned in 2016 has taken further drops with his stupid protests, false claims of vein blackballed and frankly being out of football for so long. The guy is 32 yrs old now and hasn’t taken a snap in 3 years. The list of teams willing to employ a primary backup QB like that is pretty short (less than 11, I’d say), and even shorter when Kaepernick has made clear he thinks he deserves more than backup money.I'm thinking that the money aspect of a deal would have been discussed up front before these teams committed to spending the time to send someone to Atlanta to see him workout. At least I would think that would be the case. Not saying the contract details have been discussed but you'd think that teams would have asked qualifying questions to his agent regarding what he's looking for in terms of salary.
I bet he gets signed...

I think it’s likely some team does offer Kaepernick a job stemming from this spectacle. But it’s equally likely that Kaepernick turns down the offer because the terms of compensation (low salary and/or heavily based on incentives) inflame his delicate sensibilities.

There's been no confirmation that he's ever been offered a contract by a team aside from the Ravens. Seahawks had a meeting with him but nothing was offered. No one else has even touched the guy to be able to offer him a contract.
