SANTA CLARA -- The other trade the 49ers made this week was also interesting.

Under the direction of then-general manager Trent Baalke, the 49ers took a gamble with the 2016 fourth-round selection of Rashard Robinson. The promising cornerback had not played football for two seasons after twice being suspended at LSU.

The new regime showed little patience for Robinson’s repeated mistakes. He was called for eight penalties through the first seven games. After being demoted as a starter last week, Robinson was called for two penalties on special teams against the Philadelphia Eagles.
