Here’s every player the 49ers let go at final cuts

The #49ers on Tuesday announced their final cuts. Here’s all 27 players they waived or released:

The 49ers on Tuesday made their first major wave of roster moves in trimming their roster to the maximum 53 players.

They made a handful of moves involving injury lists that kept them from outright releasing or waiving every player necessary to get to 53.

Some players were waived. That group is made up of rookies and non-vested veterans. They’re all subject to waivers, which means they can be claimed by any team prior to Wednesday’s 9:00am Pacific Time deadline. Players who clear waivers will be unrestricted free agents.

The players given their outright release are vested veterans who aren’t subject to waivers and will become unrestricted free agents immediately.

Here’s every player officially either waived or released by San Francisco at Tuesday’s cutdown deadline:

 

Predicting rest of 49ers cuts ahead of 53-man roster announcement

Predicting the rest of the cuts the #49ers will make to get their roster to 53:

The 49ers have until Tuesday 1:00pm Pacific Time to trim their roster to the 53-player maximum. They began that process Sunday by announcing the release of five players, including three defensive linemen, a cornerback and a linebacker.

Here are the rest of the players we think will be left off the 53-man roster:

Report: 49ers to release CB Ken Crawley

Another 49ers cut is being reported.

Another early 49ers roster cut is in. Matt Barrows of the Athletic reported cornerback Ken Crawley will be let go by San Francisco prior to Tuesday’s 1:00pm Pacific deadline.

Crawley is the second CB to be cut by the 49ers, joining fellow veteran Ka’dar Hollman. The 49ers added Crawley during training camp when injuries hit the top off their CB depth chart and forced them to add some camp depth.

Perhaps there was a chance Crawley would play his way into the mix, but it’s hard to imagine he ever made a real push for a roster spot.

Crawley spent seven seasons in the NFL and played all but four of his 55 games with the Saints. He also had a brief stint with the Miami Dolphins.

The 49ers have now let go of two players in their final round of cuts.

49ers roster moves: 2 placed on injured lists, 3 let go

The #49ers made their roster moves to get to 80 players:

The 49ers on Tuesday made their roster moves to get to the required 80-player threshold heading into the final preseason contest. Tuesday was also the deadline to move players from the active/PUP and active/NFI to the reserve versions of those lists. Those moves take the player off the roster and put them on a reserve list heading into the regular season.

With two players moved to injured lists the 49ers also had to let go of three players. Final cuts to get down to 53 players will be Tuesday, Aug. 30.

Here’s each move that got the 49ers to the 80-man roster.
