Eli Apple

No. 30 · 11th season

Eli Apple and the 49ers are done

Some roster moves are procedural. This one at least has a name attached to it worth knowing.

Eli Apple has been in the league long enough to have seen a few of these days. A cornerback who has moved around — different cities, different schemes, different chances — he landed in San Francisco looking for a foothold. That foothold is gone now.

The 49ers waived him. One transaction, one fewer player on the roster.

For Apple, the question is a familiar one: what comes next, and who picks up the phone. For the 49ers, a roster spot just opened up. Those two things rarely feel the same size to the people involved.
