Colin Kaepernick will participate in a workout in front of all 32 NFL teams Saturday in Atlanta in what's quickly become one of the most hotly-contested debates in sports. Is the NFL making a good-faith effort to assist Kaepernick in his attempt to get back into the league? Or is the workout nothing more than a public relations stunt intended to silence critics who think Kaepernick has been blackballed?
We won't know the answer until a few days after the workout, at the earliest. If Kaepernick does well and is still without a contract, then the argument against Saturday's session being sincere will have some merit.
Until then, the Vegas oddsmakers are taking their best swing at which NFL team is the most likely to take the plunge on the former 49ers dual threat.

The Bengals currently lead the pack at 7/2, with the Steelers (4/1) and Ravens (6/1) not far behind. As for the Bears? Their odds currently sit at 12/1, which makes them the 8th-best bet to sign Kaepernick.
"I honestly have no idea right now," Matt Nagy said Wednesday about whether the Bears would attend Kaepernick's workout. "I’m just kind of focused in on where we’re at. I’ll leave that up to Ryan [Pace] and those guys. I know they’ll have a handle on that.”
