So much for a kicking competition. The San Francisco 49ers announced that they’ve released five players, including kicker Greg Joseph:

WR Isaiah Neyor

QB Tanner Mordecai

TE Mason Pline

K Greg Joseph

According to reporters on hand, Joseph had made one more kick than Jake Moody, but it’s valid to ask whether there was ever an actual competition.
