Cutdown Day Drama: Who's on the Chopping Block?

As the NFL's cutdown day unfolds, teams are racing against the clock to finalize their rosters. The San Francisco 49ers are on the lookout for any standout players who could enhance their lineup.

Greg Dulcich: A Talented Receiver Hits the Market

Big news from the New York Giants: they’ve waved goodbye to Greg Dulcich, a 2022 third-round pick. Standing tall at 6’4” and weighing 245 pounds, Dulcich caught 33 passes for 411 yards in his rookie season with the Denver Broncos. However, after a coaching shake-up in Denver, he struggled to find his footing and didn’t register a catch last season with the Giants.

Further Receiver Departures: Who Else Got the Axe?

The Miami Dolphins have also made headlines, bidding farewell to Erik Ezukanma, their fourth-round pick from the 2022 draft. Despite his promising start, he only has one reception in three seasons, making him a potential free agent target.

In another surprising move, the New York Jets are waiving Malachi Corley. Once touted as the next Deebo Samuel, Corley had a brief taste of action last season with just three receptions and two carries for 26 yards.

Trey Palmer: The Speedster Who Could Shine

Among the new names on the waiver wire, Trey Palmer of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stands out. This 2023 sixth-round pick may have struggled with blocking at just 192 pounds, but his speed is undeniable. With 39 catches for 385 yards this past season, including four receptions over 20 yards, he could be a game-changer under the 49ers' system, which excels at creatively designing plays for its receivers.

Contested catches might not be his forte, but in a team plagued with injuries at wide receiver, Palmer could very well secure a starting spot for Week 1. Keep your eyes peeled on this potential hidden gem as the 49ers bolster their offense.
