NFL reporter Jason Cole mentioned on Twitter that he keeps hearing that the San Francisco 49ers don't want to keep cornerback Carlos Rogers.
In 2012, Rogers played in all 16 games and had 56 tackles, a sack and an interception.
According to resident cap expert Jason Hurley, Rogers' 2013 salary cap figure is a little over $7.3 million, the second highest on the team. The 49ers would create $4.5 million in savings by cutting him.
The 49ers acquired cornerback Eric Wright in a trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday. That added to an already crowded group of cornerbacks who will have to compete during training camp. In addition to Rogers, the team also had Tarell Brown, Chris Culliver, Perrish Cox and Tramaine Brock. They added Nnamdi Asomugha to that group during the offseason.
Cornerback will likely be the most interesting position battle during the team's practices, which begin next week.

Although it may not have been a blowout on the field, it was in the stands. The fanbase ratio wasn't even close. There were many more 49ers fans in the stands than there were Rams fans. But that didn't surprise anyone, except the Rams content creator I interviewed last week. He thought it would be 50/50. He was wrong. It was more like 70/30—if even that close.

The San Francisco 49ers are cruising through the beginning of the regular season, winning each of their first three games, with a home bout against the 0-2 Arizona Cardinals next on the docket.
In his return from a torn UCL sustained in last year's NFC Championship Game, quarterback Brock Purdy has picked up right where he left off, continuing his streak of remaining unbeaten in games he's started and finished, which has increased to eight in a row.
The success from 2022 has cemented Purdy as the franchise quarterback, as the 49ers traded away former franchise option Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys, but some aren't as confident in the 2022 seventh-round pick.
Amongst them is Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, who shared a unique reason for not

That second contest was Christian McCaffrey's first start with the 49ers. The running back had himself a day, rushing for a touchdown, catching a touchdown, and even throwing a touchdown to wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, showing his new teammates and The Faithful that he can do it
