49ers release QB Josh Johnson and TE Daniel Helm; sign WR Andy Jones

We just discussed tight end Delanie Walker and how he’s visiting the Niners on Wednesday. San Francisco continues to churn the bottom of their roster as the team released quarterback Josh Johnson and tight end Daniel Helm.

Weston Richburg’s retirement should have become official on Tuesday at 1 p.m. The team already added linebacker James Burgess, which means there was one corresponding move to make.

That came on Tuesday after the Niners signed wide receiver Andy Jones. The 26-year-old undrafted free agent out of the 2016 NFL Draft spent time on the Cowboys practice squad before being claimed off waivers in 2017 by the Texans.
