WR Chris Harper

We just cut DuJuan Harris. Height: 5-11 Weight: 185 The San Francisco 49ers announced on Monday that they have promoted wide receiver Chris Harper to the active roster from the team's practice squad. In order to make room on the roster, the team has released running back DuJuan Harris. Harper (5-11, 185) originally signed on the 49ers practice squad on Sept. 5, 2016. He entered the NFL with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent on May 8, 2015 out of the University of California. After beginning the 2015 season on the Patriots practice squad, he was later elevated to the team's 53-man roster where he appeared in five games and registered one reception for six yards. He was released by New England on Sept. 3, 2016. http://www.49ers.com/news/article-2/49ers-Promote-WR-Chris-Harper-to-Active-Roster-Release-RB-DuJuan-Harris/1ff22583-8cb4-4acc-b483-6a1edd6b6f1f

Why so much movement the last couple days? First B. MIller makes the 53 man, only to be cut (rightfully so) after his incident the following day. Then Harris gets signed, to only be cut a couple days later. How much money does Harris get for being on our 53 man for a couple days? Is his full salary guaranteed since he made the 53? Anyone know?

They must be happy with how he practiced this first week.

Harris on a bit of a roster roller coaster since the 53 cut down.

I don't think we originally wanted 4 RB's on the roster but didn't want teams to pick up Harris. Teams now probably like what they have so that we can try to get Harris on the PS.

Or I'm 100% wrong because I made it up as I type.

What really sucks is how they've gotten more out of our own castoffs than we ever did.

Should be. But it's peanuts relative to their cap room anyway, so who cares. And he can always re-sign with the PS.

As for why they waited to make this move, they probably really liked what they saw out of Harper in practice since he arrived. I doubt Harris would've been active tonight. I suspect Harper may not be. They probably saw losing Harper from their PS to another team as a bigger negative than losing Harris.
