Why would we release Franklin!?!?!?!?!?

So we pick up some crap free agent receivers and get rid of a 4th round pick that had some brilliant flashes last year?

My respect for Scott Pioli just went down.

Wow

Wasn’t expecting Franklin to be waived. That’s too bad, I really liked him. Maybe a sign of a Crabtree/Maclin replacement?

When Pioli and Haley were watching tape, was Franklin eating babies on the sideline?

Why not keep him until camp at least?

Is he that slow opicking up the playbook?

Do they even have playbooks yet?

Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!

primetime mentioned this in one of his posts today:

We signed WR C.J. Jones to be camp fodder, but can’t hold on to Franklin until camp?

I really don’t understand this move yet. Webb, Robinson, and the almighty C.J. Jones are better than Franklin?

What receiver did they put some tag on?

makes me think something is in the works. I’ve been sure that we were going to get more help at reciever for a couple of weeks now. The only thing I can think of is that they are making room for someone else.

Possibly, but we have plenty of other meatsacks with helmets to cut.

Aw, Shucks

I was hoping we could anoint you the new guppy! Guess we’re still searching for his replacement :)

Im pretty sure

That Franklin had a learning disablitly. Kinda blows the hole idea of “smart” football players out the window. I think that Franklin started chasing his ear after Pioli came in and said that in his opeing speech to the media. I guess no retarts at all. Even if they have some potential. Oh well I trust in the Don.
