The Facts:
The 49ers today released veteran QB Dilfer, who played two seasons with the club. Dilfer was scheduled to be paid a $500,000 roster bonus on March 15, if he were still on the team. (This move saves the 49ers $1.5 million on the salary cap.)

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The 49ers have four quarterbacks already on their roster, and it was clear that Dilfer, 35, did not fit into the team's plans. Dilfer missed the final three and a half games of the season after sustaining a nasty concussion. Recent reports have suggested he hasn't decided whether to retire or not, but he appears to have his post-football career chosen. Dilfer saw action with NFL Network prior to a 49ers game against the Bengals. And as Press-Democrat staffer Matt Maiocco notes, Dilfer performed remarkably well for the network during the Super Bowl.
