The San Francisco 49ers!

With 88 players on the roster prior to Monday, the signing of the eight picks meant the team had to release at least five players to get down to the limit of 80 signed players. Three players that were on the roster at the end of the 2009 season were cut: Defensive end James Wyche, whose contract was terminated, while defensive tackle Leger Douzable and cornerback Danny Gorrer were placed on waivers. Also placed on waivers were running back DeMaundray Woolriodge and Chris Long snapper Clint Mower. The status of linebacker K.C. Asiodu was finally resolved when he was waived/injured.

 

 If he clears waivers, Asiodu will revert to injured reserve until he is healthy and can be released, but he does not count against the 80-man limit. Asiodu's status has been something of a mystery since he wasn't on the field for the team's final OTAs the week of June 15. On Wednesday of that week, coach Steve Spagnuolo said he would be released within 24 hours. Asiodu hadn't been known to have missed any practice time during the OTAs. Two more players will later have to be cut to make room for Bradford, Saffold and Onobun. To this point, there hasn't been a decision concerning the status of guard Mark Setterstrom, who is expected to miss the season with a torn triceps. However, placing Setterstrom directly on injured reserve would not create a roster spot. That would only occur if the Rams first waived him injured as they did with Asiodu. He would then revert to injured reserve if he cleared waivers.

we've got a head coach who can't keep his pants on and looks like a ninja turtle, but what else can be made fun of? Nothing? WRONG! Look at their recently departed GM, Scot McCloughan. Not only is he no longer with the team but it was a mutual parting. Can you believe that? A drunk thought he'd be better off taking a lesser position somewhere else than spend another day as the general manager of the San Francisco 49ers. Now he's enjoying a 12 pack of vodka in Seattle. Your loss, 49ers.
