SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) The San Francisco 49ers have released offensive lineman Zane Beadles.
The 49ers announced the move Monday to cut ties with their opening day starter at left guard from a year ago.
Beadles was replaced in the starting lineup after one game because of the acquisition of Laken Tomlinson. Beadles then started the final four games of the season at right tackle.
General manager John Lynch called Beadles a ”consummate professional” and says he hopes his release in May gives him the opportunity to sign with another team.
Beadles played 32 games with 21 starts in two seasons with San Francisco. He hasn’t missed a game in eight seasons with Denver, Jacksonville and the 49ers.
