In a move the 49ers knew was coming, veteran center Weston Richburg officially announced his retirement and generates a positive in cap space over the next two years.
The San Francisco 49ers were well aware for a while now veteran center Weston Richburg was planning on hanging up his cleats this offseason.
For starters, the Niners already signed his replacement, six-time Pro Bowler Alex Mack, as a free agent during the offseason. And then head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Richburg was going to retire shortly after June 1, which would help impact San Francisco’s upcoming salary-cap situation.
