San Francisco 49ers cut ties with pair of former Alabama defensive backs
Tuesday was roster cut day around the NFL, as all 32 teams scrambled to get down to the 53-man limit for active rosters.
Naturally, that means a few former SEC players were let go around the league, and the San Francisco 49ers cut ties with a pair of former Alabama standout defensive backs.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, a veteran who has only been with the team for a couple of weeks, was released. Meanwhile, second-year DB Jared Mayden was waived, per a release from the team.
Mayden signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent following the 2020 NFL Draft. He was on the active roster for 2 games for the 49ers in 2020, spending the rest of the time on the practice squad.
Clinton-Dix was a first-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft. He spent the 2014-18 seasons in Green Bay. He has also spent time with the Washington Football Team, Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys.
