With the San Francisco 49ers set to take on the Seattle Seahawks this Saturday, the Houston Texans may have just gifted the Niners a lifeline ahead of this rematch by releasing edge rusher Darrell Taylor who could help San Francisco in a big way.
San Francisco had a similar opportunity to scoop up a defensive player let go by his team ahead of the playoffs after Trevon Diggs was let go by the Dallas Cowboys and was promptly scooped up by the Green Bay Packers.
Now, the Niners cannot afford to let this opportunity pass.
