AJ Klein was cut by the Bills today as a cap casualty. Buffalo saves $5M in cap space with the move. AJ served as the 3rd LB for the Bills but he lost playing time in 2021 as they played more nickel on defense.

He'll probably retire

Hard to believe that Jacobsen made a NFL roster. Good for him!

Watching Packers Niners, I think they just mentioned Steve Wirtel was cut.

So is Brock Purdy going to get some playing time tonight?

Doesn’t look that way

Purdy is in now.

 

[cloneclone]

Purdy looks so small out there

Our o line has prepared him for the 49ers 3rd string line

First TD of his career. Neat!

Purdy is in now.

And just threw a touchdown pass, plus a 2PC

Just beat me to it.

 

[cloneclone]

Should have thrown a pick on his first throw but bounced back nicely!

 

[cyfan21]

2 point conversion is good.

2 point conversion is good.

Great throw and better catch

 

[cyfan21]

Good series by Brock. Hopefully it leads to more pt throughout the preseason and he can get the QB2 job in San Francisco.

I think that the key for Purdy is whether they keep 3 on the active roster. If they only keep 2, then he's probably on the practice squad. But he could always be called up. Guessing SF will trade Jimmy G at some point (if they haven't already).

Seems to me that Purdy can catch on and be a long time backup. He's probably not going to ever be a starter unless there's an emergency, but he can go in and run the offense and not hurt you.

If you would've told me he would be a pro 3 years ago, I would've asked where in Eurasia.
