KD Cannon cut by SF already

[reddyuta]

cutting somebody for lack of hustle on one play is really lame,you get on his case make him realize how you want your WRs to finish .

I was interested when the 49ers cut Mike Davis if he was worth looking at over Jahad Temple RB guy. Not sure how bad Davis is.

Well, Davis was just claimed by Seattle today.

Speaking of 'Jahads', I saw a lot of people on the board pulling for Cannon. Why not give him shot, he should come cheap now.

There were people wanting to draft him as early as the 4th round, and bunch wanted him in the 6th.
But yeah, IF we have interest, maybe kick the tires.
The fact that we brought him in but still didn't take him even in the 7th sends a bit of red flag though.

Was probably between him and Noah Brown. Zeke pulled rank

This comes across like a Mike Singletary-like move by Lynch.

Agreed. Cowboys should sign KD Baylor WR guy.

Agreed. Cowboys should sign KD Baylor WR guy.

He played in Texas. Why not

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Agreed. Cowboys should sign KD Baylor WR guy.

Maybe be the fastest guy on the roster.

Position fit: Outside receiver

Stats to know: Target profile: 40 percent hitches, 23 go routes, 18 screens. Lined up wide right on 85 percent of snaps in 2016.

What he does best:

• Legit speed. Ran 4.41 at the combine and it shows on the field.
• Good acceleration. Reaches top speed quickly and really gets on cornerbacks.
• Should have success running the vertical route tree.
• Deep threat – ranked 14th among all NCAA receivers with 535 receiving yards on passes thrown 20-plus yards.
• Does a nice job tracking and adjusting to the ball in the air.
• Forced 12 missed tackles on 87 catches in 2016, and flashes the ability to break arm tackles with power in the open field.
• Hardly an impact blocker in the run or screen game, but his speed must be accounted for on every snap, allowing the offense to create space underneath by sending him deep.

Biggest concern:

• Limited route tree — 81 percent of 2016 targets were on hitches, go routes and screens, and 96 of 139 targets came outside the right numbers. This is common coming out of Baylor’s system, but it still leads to an adjustment period at the next level.
• Not an effective special-teams player despite his athleticism – averaged just 17.4 yards on seven kick returns in 2015, and was not used in that role in 2016.
• Average hands – finished in the middle of the pack in drop rate in each of the past three seasons.
• Even with his speed, averaged only 5.2 yards/reception on screens in 2016 (23 receptions, 119 yards).

Player comparison: Travis Benjamin, Los Angeles Chargers

Benjamin has established himself as a deep threat in the NFL, averaging 15.1 yards per reception in his five-year career. Cannon should be able to have similar success in stretching the field as he develops the rest of his game.

Bottom line: Cannon is an elite athlete that finished as one of the fastest receivers at the NFL combine. Like most Baylor products, projecting him to running a full route tree can be difficult, but his speed and acceleration should play immediately at the next level.

Bring in the hometown kid, at no cost. Who knows maybe we can do something with him. I like him better than TWill already.

You only get $100k to spend total.

If you can get a free look? Take it!

unfortunately, undrafted players don't get that luxury. Curvin Richards is getting cut for doing something like that; Emmitt Smith is not.

So it could be said that the 49ers just wasted $45,000 on Cannon without giving him an opportunity to adjust his attitude. But the last thing any team wants to do – especially a new regime that’s trying to “change the culture” – is spend precious time attempting to light a fire under an undrafted rookie.

The case with these partial salary guarantees that are becoming more and more popular in the NFL does not mean the 49ers are immediately responsible for that money. There is standard offset language in the contract.

If Cannon ends up on a 53-man roster – or even five weeks on a team’s practice squad – and earns $40,000 or more from another NFL team this season, the 49ers will not owe him another penny.

Cannon appeared on the league’s waiver wire on Monday. If another team claims him before the deadline on Tuesday at 1 p.m. (PT), the new team will pick up the contract and the 49ers are off the hook for everything but the original $5,000 signing bonus.

But only if there is no place for him with any other team this season, will the 49ers be forced to follow-through and pay the entire $45,000 guarantee.

Lack of effort??
