A report on Wednesday indicated that the 49ers had some interest in adding quarterback Seneca Wallace to the mix of players vying to back up Colin Kaepernick this season.

Some interest was an understatement because the 49ers announced Thursday that Wallace is the newest member of the club. They also announced that wide receiver Ricardo Lockette has been released to make room for Wallace on the roster.

Wallace will now enter a competition with Colt McCoy, Scott Tolzien and rookie B.J. Daniels for that backup role. Daniels is probably ticketed for either the third job or the practice squad, but McCoy and Tolzien have struggled during their playing time in the preseason. The fact that Wallace is on the team underlines the team’s lack of satisfaction in those two options, although he’s going to have to pick things up relatively quickly in order to leapfrog the other choices.

Former 49ers quarterback Seneca Wallace says the only reason San Francisco signed him this preseason was to squeeze fellow backup quarterback Colt McCoy to get a pay cut.

“I’ve been around this game long enough where I can see what’s going on,” Wallace told the Des Moines Register, “and I realized right away the reason they brought me here was to get Colt to take a pay cut.”

Wallace, who left the 49ers amid reports that he was retiring, said that in reality he just didn’t think San Francisco was the right place for him.

“I have not retired,” Wallace said. “I have just removed myself from the San Francisco situation because it wasn’t a perfect fit for me.”

Wallace says he has no hard feelings for the 49ers, but he doesn’t want to go somewhere if he doesn’t think the team really wants him. As a 33-year-old who hasn’t played since 2011, 1t’s entirely possible that no NFL team does want Wallace, and that he is retired from the NFL whether he wants to be or not.

I never really cared much for Wallace as a QB, but I actually kinda feel sorry for the guy, because that Raiders game was just a turrible way to go out. He looked SO horrible I don't think anybody in their right mind will want to take a look at him now. Oh well. Time for some golf and a second career.

He told Harbaugh that he was ready to retire...

If my only option was the 40-whiners, I'd retire too...
