Yep. Great guy. Some of the names he listed as thank you's took me waaaaay back.
At the same time, I applaud Harbaalke for having the balls to make this decision. You can't hold on to the past forever, and at some point you've got to realize it is time to move on.

If we would win one I'd give him one even if he's with another team.

Really bad move, we trade the best LS in the game for a kid who can't even get a preseason snap right...

That's a bit extreme.

How so... I'm being real, when has Jennings ever messed up never. Why should he lose his job he didn't mess up in the preseason, the kid did if anyone shouldn't get the job its the guy doing a bad job at it, not the old guy who can still do it... The only profession in America that gets away with age discrimination!

Everyone loves Jennings but he was an unproven rookie at one point too. Let's give the new kid a chance...

Some team will sign him soon
13 years, through best of Garcia to the worst of Nowin
Longsnappers matter, just ask the Giants -- I hope this doesn't boomerang us
Wish him all the best, my favorite team photo of all time

I read from the beat reporters that this will save about $500,000 on the cap, which can be rolled forward to next season. It will help with some of the signings needed next year (Kaep, Aldon, etc).
Is a muffed snap in a huge playoff moment worth 500,000 bucks? Thats nothing. Jennings' experience and cool head in those moments is why he made that kind of money.

I agree and a muffed snap is only half of it. One snap too high or too low can definitely alter a punt even despite having the best punter in the league.

I don't understand why they could'nt have reached some middle ground to reduce his salary to say 750k.. Jennings was about the closest thing there is to automatic in the NF L. ..Certainly worth paying above minimum wage for.
I get that the 49ers are looking to spend smart... I sure hope this does'nt blow up in in our faces.

I too wish there was some sort of middle ground, but I do believe there are league minimums for experience. Sad to see this guy go...

I trust Harbaugh and Baalke but the 2002 playoff was proof that a good long snapper isn't something to take for granted, I hope letting Jennings go doesn't screw us over.
