Cornerback Dontae Johnson‘s second stint with the 49ers ended much earlier than his first.Johnson spent four seasons with the team after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2014 draft and he returned to the team as a free agent this offseason. His stay ended on Friday when the team announced he was one of nine players released as they make their way to 53 players.Johnson started 16 games for the Niners in 2017 Nick Bosa Color Rush Jersey , but only saw action in one game last year while bouncing between three teams. He had eight tackles and an interception in four preseason appearances.The 49ers also released offensive lineman Sam Young. Young signed with the team in mid-August after swing tackle Shon Coleman broke his leg, but wasn’t able to land a job.Defensive lineman Jay Bromley, cornerback Chris Campbell, defensive back Jordan Holland, offensive lineman Wesley Johnson Nick Bosa 49ers Jersey , tight end Tyree Mayfield, cornerback Quinten Rollins and running back Brandon Wilds were also released on Friday. One of the strangest stories of the week comes from one of the best prospects in the draft.Defensive end Nick Bosa told ESPN that he has deleted tweets supporting President Donald Trump due to concerns that Bosa may end up in San Francisco.But the scrubbing of the tweets doesn’t change his views, which he first articulated in 2016 in an interview with VIP TV.“He brings a charisma to the table of no other candidate I’ve seen in my lifetime,” Bosa said at the time, via SportsByBrooks.com. “I think we need change.”He’s entitled to feel that way Y.A. Tittle Jersey , and he’s entitled to state his views, regardless of what those views are.It’s one thing for incoming rookies to find and delete stupid or offensive social-media posts from younger and dumber days of their lives. Extending that to tweets regarding legitimately and genuinely held political views makes far less sense.Given Bosa’s sensitivity to his political views in light of the manner in which they may be received in San Francisco, there’s another question that needs to be answered: Would he prefer not to be drafted by the 49ers?Rarely if ever does a player try to convince a team not to draft him, and few if any non-quarterbacks have ever even tried. But Nick’s brother, Joey Joe Montana Color Rush Jersey , told in the days before the 2016 draft that has considered the question of whether incoming NFL players should be allowed to pick their teams, not the other way around.Maybe Nick is thinking the same thing, and maybe his deletion of pro-Trump tweets and his explanation for doing so represent the first step toward making it known to the 49ers at some point over the next two weeks that he’d prefer not to play in San Francisco.
