I don't think there are any issues. He played yesterday so I don't think there are any injury issues. He asked to be released and they did it per is agent. With Hyde completely entrenched as the #2 he saw the writing on the wall it would seem. Certainly odd though that this happened after 1 game. He has to go through the waiver wire first. I would think with the Ravens ahead of us on the list they would put in a claim maybe.

Niners only have one draft pick out of 7 from the 2012 draft still on their roster. If the radio is correct on that :shock:

San Francisco 49ers[edit]

James played in his first NFL game in Week 14 against the Dolphins. He carried the ball 8 times for 30 yards and had a 3.7 yard avg. He also caught a 15-yard reception. In Week 15 against the Patriots, he had 8 carries for 31 yards. He also had a 62-yard kickoff return after the Patriots had completed a 28 point comeback to tie the game up, leading to a touchdown the next play for the 49ers. James scored his first career touchdown in the 2012 NFC Championship against the Atlanta Falcons. He asked for and was granted his release from the 49ers. [12]

Have to hope that the Ravens don't claim him. Bad timing on that one if the Cards are interested in James.

Would he be a good backup for Ellington with his injury issue? I believe he is a similar type back.

I don't think it's odd. The Harbaughs helping each other again.

He's not a very good football player. The 49ers tried to get him involved in the game yesterday, but he had no burst and the plays he was involved amounted to minimal gain.

Another sign that Oregon's offensive system is good for college and players don't translate to the NFL. In other words, avoid Mariota

The timing is pretty amazing. Dude has been asking for his release for a long time now, and now they do it? A little thank you for the Boldin fleecing of a trade?

Lamicheal James ask for his release

And the 49ers gave it to him. I really think this team takes a huge step back this year

Bring him in he knows that offense play book up and down

I would take a look... Dwyer was seriously freaking me out with ball security.. A spin move? seriously?

He had one hand on the ball... at a time when he should be clutching it for dear life with both.
