The San Francisco 49ers have done solid work with veteran cornerbacks in recent years. Shareece Wright is not an example of that, and it cost the team.
The San Francisco 49ers made a roster move over the weekend that was not entirely shocking, but will still cost them a chunk of change. The team promoted Andrew Tiller from the practice squad, and cleared a roster spot by releasing cornerback Shareece Wright.
In releasing Wright, the 49ers will take on approximately $2.6 million in dead money. Over The Cap lists Wright's dead money at $2.7 million, but Jason could not find the extra $100,000.
