Thank you for fumbling away any chance we had at winning the Arizona game, Turbin. so glad we held a roster spot for you for so long.

On to the Great Winston!

Turbin will get picked up by the Patriots and help them win the super bowl.

They have LeGarrett Blount, they dont need Turbin.

Can somebody please tell me what it costs to sign players for a week or two & then cut them? Seems to me that, if nothing else, it makes us look silly.

They don't need Turbin. They have Blount already. They would replace Dion Lewis with more of a quick pass catching threat..

Turbin hasn't done anything. Winston is better.

Besides, we need space on the gameday for both Winston and Gaines. If we're going to cut Williams and Haden and Gilbert, we need to see if Gaines is decent.. and, next year, if the IR'd ekpre-olomu will be a player.

Wait, what?!?!

I don't know, they hold up a roster spot for Turbin and wait how many weeks for him to rehab? Then you finally get to see him fumble the ball a couple of times, and then he gets cut. Did someone, anyone not do their homework on this guy before they claimed him off waivers? This is just another example of Farmer and his scouting dept flying by the seat of their pants.

Pro-rate their salary which in most cases is league minimum... $435k. Turbine's rate was $660k.

Add incidentals like travel, uni, physical... maybe $4k???

If you think waiting for Turpin was long. We have carried Winston on IR & PS for 2 Years!! Kick the dust off, slide before you get hit & Run you Bitch RUN!!!

sounds about right Tour. 1\16th of your salary for every week you stick on the roster. None of those guys contracts are guaranteed.

And Shaun Draugn started for the 49ners last week! Maybe we can get Willis McGahee!
