For the third straight season, Shon Coleman will not play a snap for the 49ers, not after joining wide receiver Travis Benjamin to opt out via the NFL’s clause for coronavirus concerns.
More important for the 49ers’ sake, those were the only two known players to opt out before Thursday’s 1 p.m. deadline, so, for instance, George Kittle did not use that as an end-all deadline in his ongoing contract negotiations.
Coleman informed the 49ers’ of his decision and it will show up on Friday’s transactio. . .
