Former Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers safety J.J. Wilcox was close – very close – to signing with the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday. In fact, he was in the building, and the signing even appeared on the NFL transaction wire. That is about as close as it gets. It was curious that the 49ers did not yet announce the move and now we know why.

Wilcox is currently on a flight to New Jersey to sign with the New York Jets.
