As far as the workout, the fact the NFL was offering a workout (not teams) and they settled with him tells you the reality of the situation. I mean the NFL does that with all backup level QBs right? Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, Gabbert has a desire to play football and accepted his role as a backup. Kaepernick did not. He gained more fame and money and influence as a professional activist than he could've every dreamed making in the NFL.

Why would he want to go be a backup QB somewhere? He didn't want to.
