The San Francisco 49ers releasing wide receiver Torrey Smith, and while the team has not formally announced it, multiple reports, and Smith himself have made clear that he will be playing for a new team in 2017.
Smith posted on Instagram late Monday afternoon, thanking the 49ers, numerous employees, and the fans for his time in the Bay Area. You can check it out below.
The 49ers have not announced the move yet, but that will likely happen sometime on Tuesday. Pro Football Talk did raise one interesting possibility. Now that word is out that Smith will be available, a team might be willing to give up a late round pick to ensure a chance at landing the wide receiver.
