San Francisco 49ers: 5 Veterans the Team Moves on from Sooner Rather Than Later

As it stands, the majority of the 2012 San Francisco 49ers starting roster features players aged 28 or younger.

The team will retain most of these men, while some of those with the year 1982 or earlier displayed on their birth certificates should prepare to seek employment elsewhere, at the very least by 2014.

Kicker David Akers and long snapper Brian Jennings can consider themselves safe.

As significant and underrated as these positions are, we’d be kidding ourselves if we didn’t think these 49ers would be playing north of the half-century mark.

Other starters and those filling out the depth chart, whether under contract or not, should put their days in a San Francisco 49ers uniform behind them.

Let’s take a gander at the five players the 49ers would be best served moving on from sooner rather than later.
