According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, no teams have actually reached out to sign the free agent signal-caller.

Kaepernick's impact to the ongoing social movement, especially throughout the sports world hasn't gone unnoticed. Recently, LeBron James has made a statement demanding the NFL issue Colin an apology, showing his influence has transcended his own sport.
“As far as the NFL, I'm not in those locker rooms, I'm not with those guys, but I do understand that an apology – I have not heard a true, official apology to Colin Kaepernick on what he was going through and what he was trying to tell the NFL and tell the world about why he was kneeling when he was doing that as a San Francisco 49er,” James told Bloomberg.
It is indeed possible that teams are actually interested in the former San Francisco star. But until anything actually materializes, it's all hearsay at this point.
