Colt McCoy Eager To Get Started With 49ers

Sep 6, 2014 7:10 AM

Colt McCoy, traded by the Cleveland Browns, is eager to get started with the San Francisco 49ers.

The trade was finalized after the quarterback passed a physical on Tuesday.

"I actually showed up in Cleveland yesterday to start the offseason," McCoy said. "I didn't really know what was going to happen. I think there was a lot of speculation. At the end of the day yesterday I was a 49er, and I couldn't be more happy."

McCoy will have the chance to win the backup job behind Colin Kaepernick.

Weeden Expected To Begin Season As Cleveland's Starter

Oct 26, 2014 12:39 PM

The Cleveland Browns aren't sold on any of the quarterback options in this year's NFL Draft, so Brandon Weeden is expected to open the season as the starter.

Cleveland signed Jason Campbell this offseason, but he will serve as the backup.

"If the coaches are unhappy with Weeden, they can turn to Campbell. But the idea is to immerse Weeden into a system that should highlight his ability to throw downfield, out of the shotgun," writes Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
