In news no one probably cares about SF cuts Brandon Jones (1 Viewer)

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

I alwasy thought he'd be better in the pros. He was money in college.

The San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday waived injury-prone wide receiver Brandon Jones, one of their big free-agent acquisitions a year ago, according to the team's official Web site.Jones signed a five-year, $16 million contract, but he had only one reception for 18 yards last season.The 6-foot-1, 212-pound Jones originally was drafted by the Tennessee Titans, but he ended up on injured reserve in 2005 and 2007. Jones broke his shoulder while diving for a pass during training camp last year and struggled to recover. He was used mostly as a punt returner.Jones was competing for one of the final wide receiver spots.The 49ers also waived/injured offensive tackle Chris Patrick, who was signed off the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad last year and appeared in three games for San Francisco.

Veteran NT Franklin to end holdout, sign 49ers tender SaturdayBy Jason La Canfora NFL NetworkPublished: Aug. 26, 2010 at 05:16 p.m. Updated: Aug. 26, 2010 at 08:27 p.m. Liked: 2 | Comments: 26Email Like PrintRead DiscussNose tackle Aubrayo Franklin will sign his franchise tender and report to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, according to a league source.Franklin has stayed away from training camp while hoping to work out a long-term contract extension. Instead, the seven-year veteran will play under the $7 million franchise tag this season.Niners defensive coordinator Greg Manusky told reporters Thursday that he hadn't spoken to Franklin and didn't know when the lineman would report. But Manusky believes Franklin probably needs only one preseason game to prepare for the season."Playing the preseason games, even though some of the starters are only playing 15 plays or 16 plays, at least they're back in the rhythm and get their groove back," Manusky said. "You can't really replicate that out here (at training camp). But he'll be fine."The 49ers will play the Oakland Raiders on Saturday night, but Franklin likely won't see action in that game. San Francisco's preseason finale is Sept. 2 against the San Diego Chargers.Franklin, 29, was selected in the fifth round of the 2003 draft by the Baltimore Ravens, but he only started one game in four seasons with the team before joining the 49ers. He has emerged as a major force in the middle of San Francisco's defensive line, starting 44 games since 2007.Franklin had 36 tackles, two sacks and one interception in 16 games last season.
