The 49ers made it official today: Torrey Smith is no longer with the team.
A day after the wide receiver acknowledged his reported release on Instagram, the 49ers issued a release in which general manager John Lynch hailed Smith’s character.
“The 49ers would like to thank Torrey for representing this organization with tremendous class over the last two years,” Lynch said. “I have always had great respect for his skill as a player and as a wonderful example of how professional athletes can use their platform to make a difference in our community.
