New 49ers QB Colt McCoy says he "feels great" health wise.
McCoy missed an opportunity to make a Week 17 spot-start thanks to a shoulder injury, but is 100 percent. McCoy also said he has "nothing but great" things to say about the Browns organization, and harbors no ill-will about their infamous handling of his 2011 concussion. McCoy will compete with Scott Tolzien for No. 2 duties in San Francisco. Apr 2 - 9:37 PM

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

49ers acquired QB Colt McCoy and a 2013 sixth-round pick from the Browns in exchange for 2013 fifth- and seventh-round draft picks.

So Cleveland acquired a seventh-rounder and a nine-spot jump (No. 173 to No. 164) on the other pick. McCoy, 26, has a career completion rate of 58.3 with a 21:20 TD-to-INT ratio, 6.3 YPA, and 6-15 record. Arm-strength limitations put a major cap on McCoy's long-term NFL ceiling, and he's viewed as a mid-range to low-end backup around the league. Barring the addition of a mid-round QB, McCoy will compete with Scott Tolzien in training camp to be the primary clipboard holder behind Colin Kaepernick. We would not be surprised if Tolzien won the job.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

The Cleveland Plain Dealer considers the Browns "doubtful" to find a trade partner for Colt McCoy.

His $1.5 million base salary is rich for a borderline backup-caliber talent, and no teams view McCoy as even a viable training camp competitor. The league is also well aware McCoy is not in the Browns' plans, particularly after the Jason Campbell signing. Expect Cleveland to release McCoy by early May.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

The Seattle Times suspects the Seahawks could have interest in Colt McCoy if they deal Matt Flynn to Oakland.

Seahawks beat writer Danny O'Neil believes McCoy is "expected to be released," and could be signed by Seattle as a free agent. The Browns are currently trying to trade McCoy. They'll send him to whatever team offers up a draft pick.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

Browns CEO Joe Banner said that Colt McCoy won't be released "as of now," but confirmed that the team is open to trading him.

McCoy is no longer in the Browns' plans after they signed Jason Campbell, and is currently being shopped for a late-round pick. ESPN Cleveland suggests the Texans and Saints as possible trade partners.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports Colt McCoy will be released or traded for a late-round pick "soon."

On the block all offseason, McCoy is officially out of the Browns' plans after they signed Jason Campbell. He'll likely be cut, as if there was a late-round pick to be had for McCoy, the Browns likely would have already gotten it. A Browns source did tell NFL.com's Ian Rapoport the team has "no plans" to cut the former third-round pick. We'll see. Small of stature with a pop-gun arm, McCoy is best suited to a West Coast attack. He'd make sense as a backup in Green Bay, where he's been linked in the past.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

ESPN Cleveland says Colt McCoy is "undoubtedly" done with the Browns.

McCoy's noodle arm is not a fit in Norv Turner's offense. Brandon Weeden will be fighting off challenges from Jason Campbell and possibly a rookie, while the Browns try to salvage a draft pick for McCoy. Beat writer Tony Grossi suggests the Texans and Saints as possible trade partners, although we don't think McCoy would be a surefire upgrade on current Texans backup T.J. Yates.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says it's doubtful that Colt McCoy will be back with the Browns in 2013.

Playing time escalators spiked McCoy's 2013 salary from $575,000 to $1.5 million. He doesn't fit the vertical passing offense, and the Browns don't consider him a viable starting option. Beat writer Terry Pluto considers Matt Moore an option to replace him. Derek Anderson has also been linked to the Browns.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

The Cleveland Plain Dealer hears that the new Browns regime does not consider Colt McCoy a "viable starting option."

McCoy's pop-gun arm is an awful fit for new coach Rob Chudzinski's aggressive, vertical passing scheme. The Browns are expected to bring in competition for Brandon Weeden, so look for McCoy to be dangled as trade bait. Thanks to escalators in his contract, he's owed $1.5 million in 2013.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

Colt McCoy's base salary will be up from $575,000 to $1.5 million in 2013 after he hit escalators in his rookie contract.

McCoy started 21 games over the first two seasons of his career but was relegated to backup duties in 2012 behind Brandon Weeden. His future in Cleveland remains up in the air with the new coaching staff, but McCoy certainly doesn't fit Rob Chudzinski and Norv Turner's desires for a strong-armed quarterback. McCoy, entering the final year of his contract, could be dangled on the trade market this offseason.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

A team source tells ESPN Cleveland that Browns president Joe Banner told Colt McCoy just over a week ago that McCoy is "in the next head coach's plans."

As ESPN Cleveland's Will Burge notes, it's "pretty obvious" the Browns knew they were going to land Chip Kelly, well ahead of Thursday's Fiesta Bowl. NFL Network's Mike Lombardi is tentatively expected to be Kelly's GM, and Sirius XM Radio's Adam Caplan reported Friday that Lombardi has already been involved in Cleveland's free agency research. Lombardi is not a believer in Brandon Weeden or McCoy, so expect another Browns offseason of turnover at quarterback.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

Colt McCoy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 17 against Pittsburgh.

As expected, Thaddeus Lewis is getting the start. McCoy, 26, wraps up his third NFL season after appearing in only three games off the bench, completing 9-of-17 throws for 79 yards and a touchdown. Now entering the final year of his rookie contract and having lost biggest personal supporter Mike Holmgren, McCoy figures to be shopped on the trade market this offseason.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

Colt McCoy (shoulder) will not practice Wednesday.

McCoy emerged from last week's loss to the Broncos with some soreness in his shoulder. He's missing a golden opportunity to get first-team reps and draw a start with Brandon Weeden sidelined by a shoulder injury of his own. If neither Weeden nor McCoy can go, practice squad callup Thaddeus Lewis will draw the start.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

After coming on for an injured Brandon Weeden in the third quarter of Cleveland's Week 16 loss to the Broncos, Colt McCoy completed 9-of-17 passes for 79 yards and one touchdown.

Although McCoy led the Browns on their lone touchdown drive and avoided turnovers, he mostly stunk up the joint. He bounced no fewer than four passes, and took four sacks. His arm appeared every bit as pop-gun as it did his first two years in the league. If Weeden (shoulder) can't go for next week's finale, McCoy won't be a viable QB2 against a Steelers team that will be fuming following its playoff-eliminating loss on Sunday.

Colt McCoy - QB - 49ers

Browns QB Colt McCoy was added to the injury list on Saturday as probable with an illness.

There's nothing to see here. McCoy is expected to dress and serve as Brandon Weeden's backup for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
