Workout is scheduled for Saturday, which is the busiest day of the week for teams prepping for Sunday games. No one he's talked to plans to go, not even the local teams or teams on bye.
Multiple teams, including the "local" falcons will have people there.

If any team had been remotely interested in him, they had numerous opportunities to bring him into their own facilities and at their own convenience to work him out. NFL is simply staging this "workout" so they can say "we really tried, unfortunately no one is interested in you. Not our fault."
Actually it was reported that multiple teams had contacted the league offices about Kaepernick. Teams were cautious about taking the lead in possibly bringing him back, so the NFL decided to do a "league sponsored" workout so that none of the teams could be singled out as pushing for his return.
The fact that the league did it on such short notice indicates that they are not all that interested in Kaepernick looking good.
No team will sign him as an "instant fix" for just this year, they don't expect to be able to sign him and immediately plug him into the starting role on a new offense.
