49ers expected to release K Akers before FA
David Akers - K - San Francisco 49ers
March 4, 2013 - 12:00 PM ET

The Sideline View's Adam Caplan reports the 49ers are expected to release K David Akers before the start of free agency.

Akers had no shot at collecting his $3 million salary after going just 29-of-42 on field-goal attempts last season. He was 4-of-5 in the playoffs. Akers is only one year removed from one of the greatest kicking campaigns in league history, but will likely have to settle for a camp competition in free agency.
