Though the Bills have moved on from McCoy, he's sure to garner interest from many other teams around the league. Could one of those clubs be the 49ers?
San Francisco is set with their top two backs in Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida, but Jerick McKinnon might not play a snap for a second straight season due to issues with his knee. It's more likely, however, that general manager John Lynch has to make a decision on running back Jeff Wilson instead of adding McCoy.
Wilson carried the ball 20 times for 100 yards in the 49ers' preseason finale and had a solid showing throughout traning camp.

Until he calls it quits, never count out Frank Gore.
