49ers admit $16.5M mistake on Brandon Jones
Brandon Jones - WR - San Francisco 49ers
Aug. 18, 2010 - 6:15 PM ET
49ers released WR Brandon Jones.
Two Februaries ago, the Scot McCloughan-led Niners guaranteed Jones $5.4 million on a five-year, $16.5 million contract. They got one reception for 18 yards in return. The move does "save" San Francisco from paying Jones' $2.145 million 2010 salary, but he was never going to get that money anyway. Injury prone throughout his career, Jones won't draw interest until he gets healthy. He missed nearly all of camp with a bum hamstring.
