Monday the Niners found a backup after moving QB Alex Smith, as the team acquired QB Colt McCoy from Cleveland for a late round draft choice.
The news was broken by to NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora.
McCoy in his three-year career with the Browns, played in 24 games and accounted for 22 touchdowns against 26 turnovers (6 fumbles). He has a 74.8 career passer rating.
