Trent Baalke discusses why Jarryd Hayne did not stay on 49ers 53-man roster most of the season

We got a little more insight into the decision-making surrounding Jarryd Hayne. San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke chatted all things Hayne with the Sydney Morning Herald this week.

The San Francisco 49ers had an up and down year with Australian running back and kick returner Jarryd Hayne during his rookie season. He signed last spring, and made the roster out of training camp. He had some issues dropping the ball early on, and was eventually waived on October 31 to make room for Kendall Gaskins. The 49ers signed him to the practice squad after he cleared waivers, and he remained there through Week 15.
