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.
