Entering last year’s training camp, the San Francisco 49ers roster was completely revamped. With a new general manager and head coach, no player really had a footing over another.
We saw wide receiver Jeremy Kerley get cut after signing a three-year extension because, according to John Lynch (h/t 247sports.com), “Once we got Trent Taylor in that slot position and saw that Trent could handle it and handle it right away, we said it was going to be hard at that point for Jeremy to make the roster.”
This year will be a little different.
