Some teams began the madness as early as Friday. Some teams, like the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills, have released upwards of a dozen players. Other teams, like the San Francisco 49ers, are still going through the process of which players to retain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The 49ers personnel department will have a close eye on every player released. We don\u2019t see many notable names during the early phases of cuts. The more recognizable name is likely Donovan Peoples-Jones, a wide receiver who has bounced around but has the physical tools. The Philadelphia Eagles released former first-round pick Lewis Cine, who is a defensive back. Those two players could intrigue San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We also see trades ahead of a player being released. That\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninersnation.com\/san-francisco-49ers-news\/149266\/49ers-make-trade-with-chiefs-for-wr-amid-injuries\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">trading for Skyy Moore<\/a> felt like. It was a way for the 49ers to guarantee they\u2019d get their hands on Moore without competing with another team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Late Sunday afternoon, NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport reported the Patriots are shopping Kyle Dugger, a safety who has started in New England for the previous five seasons. If a team really valued Dugger, they\u2019d give up a draft pick for him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">However, Dugger just signed a four-year, $58-million extension in April 2024. That was also with a different coaching staff. Dugger is undoubtedly talented and could help the Niners, but the price tag of paying Dugger $9.75 million in 2025 when it could be for half that if he\u2019s released will likely prevent Dugger from being traded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There\u2019s a strong possibility that the Niners keep a roster spot or two open in the event a player from another team gets cut who they feel could help them. We\u2019ll continue to update this post as more and more names are released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Which positions do you believe the 49ers will keep their eyes on?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL\u2019s official cut-down date is Tuesday, August 26, at 1 p.m. PT.
