49ers release Antonio Bryant...sign Ashley Lelie

The San Francisco 49ers dropped talented but troubled WR Antonio Bryant today, and made a deal with free agent WR Ashley Lelie from Denver. Lelie spent several seasons with the Broncos, but never really lived up to expectations. With the 49ers still searching for an offensive coordinator, the team continues to persue free agents are have already spent $100 million. The Nate Clements $80 million deal is a little pricey for a player who has never been to the Pro-Bowl or the playoffs, but only $22 million is guaranteed. Good moves thus far by the 49ers? How much will losing Norv Turner hurt the 49ers and Alex Smith in particular?

Ashley Lelie is a good pick up. It had to be hard to put up numbers in a system seeing Plummer as the quarterback, and its premise being the run game.

He has been a big disappointment thus far, but I'm not sure that he will grow in the 49ers' system without Norv Turner and an evolving QB in Alex Smith.
