trimming that fat. Maybe they really like Tartt or they're switching reid to SS and moving Ward to FS.

Absolutely the dline depth has been horrible for the last few years, no more Purcell or tje. It will also make transitioning the youngsters easier with veterans to teach them.

Not that the #49ers need the cap space, but they'll save $5.75m in space after Bethea's release.

Bethea was set to make $7M, not a huge surprise. Saves $5.75M in cap space, puts #49ers at ~$99M in cap room per overthecap.com

Anyone think Reid would make a good SS with Ward at FS? Or nah?

I would imagine that is exactly what they're going for.
Tartt would be a guy who floats from position to position on a snap-by-snap basis.

Jefferson, cyprien, or church are better than any safety we have. Cutting reid and bethea would pay for a real safety
