Naturally my last 90-in-90 contribution of the offseason is going to revolve around the San Francisco 49ers’ new punter! After four years of fairly middling returns from punter Bradley Pinion, the 49ers decided to go in a new direction this year. Pinion wrapped up his four-year rookie contract last season and quickly departed in free agency — signing a four-year contract with the 49ers Week 1 opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The 49ers decision to move on from Pinion made all the sense in the world. For three of his four seasons with the team, Pinion ranked in the bottom third of the league in net punt yards.
