The San Francisco 49ers released Chris Cook on Wednesday, leaving a sizable chunk of dead money on the books. Any thoughts as to why?
The San Francisco 49ers made a pair of roster moves on Tuesday, releasing veteran cornerback Chris Cook and signing rookie wide receiver Nigel King. The addition of King made some sense. The team has dealt with some injuries at the wide receiver position, with Bruce Ellington and Issac Blakeney both dealing with leg strains. Additionally, Jerome Simpson has missed a couple practices due to personal reasons.
