Glen Coffee unretires, waived by 49ers

I am willing to bet money this will officially go down as the most random transaction of the 2017 offseason. The NFL posted the Friday transaction notice, and San Francisco 49ers running back Glen Coffee filed for reinstatement from the reserve/retired list, and was then waived by the 49ers.

The 49ers drafted Coffee in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft, with the hope that he would become a solid complement to Frank Gore. Coffee rushed for 83 times for 226 yards in his rookie season, but then abruptly retired in August of 2010.
