*Colin Kaepernick’s NFL workout at the Atlanta Falcons facility did not go down as planned Saturday afternoon … as it’s being moved to a separate location.
According to TMZ, the event was plagued with drama from the start. Colin’s reps claim the NFL refused to allow media to observe the workout and the former 49er wasn’t having it.

Kap’s team also claims the NFL wanted him to sign an “unusual liability waiver” which “rejected the standard liability waiver from physical injury proposed by Mr. Kaepernick’s representatives.”
“Based on prior conduct by the NFL league office, Mr. Kaepernick simply asks for a transparent and open process.”
As a result, Kaepernick is moving the workout to a nearby high school and it will be open to the media.
“Mr. Kaepernick looks forward to seeing the representatives from the clubs today.”

We previously reported…the league sent a memo to all 32 teams Tuesday inviting them to the workout on Saturday (Nov. 16) that was set to include a series of drills on the field as well as an interview, according to USA TODAY Sports.
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.”
The proposed workout on Saturday came as a surprise to Kap and his representatives. He tweeted about the workout Tuesday night: “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,” Kapernick wrote.
Colin’s team tells TMZ saying that they’d like to keep the invite open for former Browns coach Hue Jackson to oversee the drills and workout at the new Atlanta-area school location.
