It’s not a good day for deals once sanctioned by Chip Kelly.
According to Matt Maiocco of NBCSportsBayArea.com, the 49ers are releasing guard Joshua Garnett.
As in, 2016 first-round pick Joshua Garnett.
They actually traded up into the first round to take him, but Garnett was never able to lock down a starting job for long. Part of that was because of injuries, but he never found his footing.
Garnett started 11 games, all in his rookie season.
