Create a custom 49ers jersey ⇨

What were they paying TP? Less of a youth movement, more of a cost cutting movement.

I wonder if it was money or the new STC wanted to go in a new direction?

TP made 1.2 last year, this is getting ridiculous. I long snapped in high school, can I try out? LOL

Maybe it's as simple as the new ST coach wanted a change.

Not as fun as a conspiracy or agenda you can get all worked up over, but you know - maybe it's just that.

This is the most likely explanation.

$1,280,000 in cap savings.

Of course, we will have to sign a replacment.

This doesn't sound like a financial move. I wonder if something happened that caused the FO to make the cut.

...not this.

His salary last year was slightly below average league-wide for an LS.

Nope. According to overthecap.com, Weeks was paid the same amount as Pepper.

Has to be the coach's choice.

Maybe he saw something that contributed to FG or Punting mistakes.

Besides him sucking and Deebo ready to b slap him.

Looks like he was making approx $1.4M a year, which is in the middle range of LS, so it must be more of a scheme for and culture thing.
