The San Francisco 49ers reportedly plan to release veteran wide receiver Torrey Smith. Retired NFL wideout Steve Smith broke the news, with ESPN's Adam Schefter confirming the report.

Torrey sent out a series of tweets seemingly acknowledging his departure from the Bay Area:

Smith, 28, recorded 20 receptions for 267 yards and three touchdowns last season. He was rendered all but irrelevant in an offense that struggled to find any success through the air with either Colin Kaepernick or Blaine Gabbert.
