49ers cut Jon Baldwin

[*FreeFua*]

@AdamSchefter: 49ers waived former Chiefs WR Jon Baldwin to claim WR L’Damian Washington off waivers.

He's never been able to figure it out in the NFL. The kid is still only 24 years old, turns 25 right away. Baldwin is 6'4", 230.

I can't imagine it would hurt to let Ricky give it a go with Baldwin.

Pass. There are already enough projects/developmental guys in that group.

saw "cut jon b...", and for a split second though beason had been cut.

I'd consider trading him out for Underwood but I like our younger receivers at the bottom of the depth chart.

But if anyone can get him straight it would be Prohel

Jonathan Jones did project us picking up a free agent receiver to round out the depth chart.  It would certainly be a low risk move.

I think we're too late in the offseason for coaching up a "already should be" WR. Unless he has insane blocking skills.... I'd rather Oline depth  or a solid PR.

Add Baldwin, Cut Pilares or McNutt.  Out of the "projects", I like King and Bersin.  Honestly, King, Bersin and McNutt are no better or worse than Baldwin, so I think the risk is low.  I would also stash Lucas on the PS and carry Brown as a ST return guy.

I agree.. To be honest I'd rather hold on to unproven talent in Philly Brown or Marcus Lucas then sign a bust like Baldwin. Wait till roster cuts and see what's out there

I remember when he was traded from the Chiefs for AJ Jenkins.

A turd for a turd I guess.

I believe JJones meant that we would be picking up a roster cut casualty, not some no name dude that was cut to make room for another no name dude...
