Cut by 49ers
The 49ers released Simpson on Saturday, the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers have started the process of whittling down the roster from 90 to 75 players by Tuesday's deadline, jettisoning Simpson and fellow wideout DiAndre Campbell among others. Simpson experienced decreased usage as the preseason proceeded, following up five catches combined in the first two games with no stat line to speak of in Friday's exhibition against the Packers. The 30-year-old may have reached the end of his NFL life, but with 150 career catches to his name, another team may come calling in the coming weeks.

It is no secret that Simpson has had his problems off the field during a seven-year career, but his production on the field fell off dramatically in 2015 (six games, 54 yards, one touchdown). He does have two 700-plus yard seasons under his belt, so there's still some talent there. The 49ers released Simpson during roster cuts in August. He will look to latch on to a new club as a reserve option.
