All the players the 49ers added in the draft and the signings they are making with undrafted free agents means the roster needed to be trimmed. The team announced on Tuesday that they are cutting 13 players from the roster to accommodate the new players. Mike Purcell and former Stanford LB Shayne Skov were included the cuts. The 49ers also announced that they have completed the signings of OL Brandon Fusco and Tim Barnes.
The addition of Fusco and Barnes brings depth to the 49ers offensive line. The 49ers did not draft an offensive linemen, so they have been using free agency to add to the unit.
