Niners Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The San Francisco 49ers report to training camp on July 25, with a joint practice against the Tennessee Titans and final roster cuts due by August 30.
- Veteran wide receiver Demarcus Robinson faces a potential surprise cut due to the team's offseason additions of Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, and rookie De’Zhaun Stribling, despite a $2.43 million dead money hit.
- Safety Ji’Ayir Brown could also be at risk of release if second-year player Marques Sigle shows significant improvement, as Brown struggled with tackling and coverage last season.
- Cutting Brown would save the 49ers $3.67 million in cap space, potentially allowing them to pursue trades or free agents like Jessie Bates before the trade deadline.
- The team’s decisions reflect a focus on upgrading key positions and managing salary cap space amid a competitive roster environment.
