Earlier today we put together a rundown of how each 49ers player on the 49ers 53-man roster, injured lists and practice squad. When the 49ers send out their weekly release, they also include a rundown of all transactions made during the current league year.
I thought it would entertaining to post this season-long list of transactions so people can see just how much things have changed over the last year. The first transactions took place on January 24 when the 49ers signed seven players to Reserve/Future contracts. This contract is a little bit like a glorified try-out opportunity.
The only player from that group still around is linebacker Michael Wilhoite. He was part of the last roster cuts in training camp on August 31, and was quickly re-signed to the practice squad on September 1, after he cleared waivers. He was subsequently promoted to the 53-man roster on November 30 and has been a regular part of the special teams units.
