Per Mike Garafolo, the 49ers just released former Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith.

Should the broncos make a move?

The San Francisco 49ers are releasing veteran linebacker Malcolm Smith, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

The 49ers initially signed Smith to a five-year deal on March 9, 2017, worth up to $26.5 million. He was due $3.75 million in 2019 but restructured his contract, which essentially became a one-year deal, this offseason to remain with the 49ers. The remaining years on the deal voided on March 17.

The Seattle Seahawks made Smith a seventh-round selection out of USC in 2011. He registered 35 combined tackles and a pass defensed through 12 games and five starts with the 49ers in 2018 but struggled to stay on the field due to an Achilles injury. That was after Smith missed the 2017 season after sustaining a torn pectoral muscle during training camp of that year.

Smith has recorded 390 combined tackles, six sacks, 17 passes defensed, four interceptions, a touchdown, and eight forced fumbles through his seven NFL seasons. He also spent time with the Oakland Raiders during his professional career.

He's older and pretty beat up. I don't see the point.

God when are people gonna get that our ILBs are complete garbage. Anything we can bring in is better than what we have.

Especially after Dalton Risner (aka Route 66) pancaked him on a screen pass in practice.

I would rather pursue a trade with Dallas for Sean Lee, more than likely his last season in Dallas anyway

But at 33 and injury prone how much could he really contribute? He may end up being cut anyway

I read somewhere Kiko Alonso is being shopped in Miami, or maybe will be cut. Any Takers?

I would bring him in if he is cut in a heartbeat. The alternative is we play what we have now if he gets hurt.

He’s been bounced around the league but he always racks up a ton of tackles. Haven’t watched him too much so I’m not sure if it’s just circumstance or he’s one of those LBs that just makes a lot of tackles down the field. I’d probably be down to kick the tires but probably not at his current price tag
