The Athletic has a story looking at Washington Redskin free agents and the likelihood they return to DC. Here is their blurb on McCoy.
Colt McCoy
Age: 33
Situation: After Washington played its final game at Dallas, McCoy took his last physical of the season and remained home in Texas. Since being brought on by former coach Jay Gruden in 2014, McCoy has served as a safety net whenever issues presented themselves at the quarterback spot. He was someone well-liked within the locker room, who understood the offense and comfortable in his role as a backup. He was definitely a Gruden guy, so it felt McCoy wouldn’t be brought back after his contract expired.
Likely outcome: He’s older and injury-prone. Gruden gave McCoy every chance to take the reins, but Gruden lamented that some injury always seemed to plague McCoy whenever the opportunity arose. Reportedly, the Cleveland Browns, the team that drafted him in 2010, is interested in him to serve as a backup for Mayfield.
Percentage chance he’s on opening day roster: 1
