49ers aren't picking up Mitchell's option

DT Earl Mitchell will not be with the team next year not really a surprise with how the playing time worked out at the end of the season.

With the emergence of DJ Jones they no longer need him.

No they don't. He was a stand up guy because he knew he was helping to make the guy that would replace him better.

Sounds like they want Robbie Gould back and want to come up with a deal

keep Gold until he cant make fg s anymore. need to see more improvement from Day and Taylor, Street!

Was this actually thread worthy? Earl Mitchell? No offense....but this is more 'offseason' type stuff.

Probably not but I liked the guy he was a class act.

He's pretty easily replaced.

He's pretty easily replaced.

Yes that is why it isn't a surprise they already replaced him with Jones.

Well, I hope he's not the permanent replacement. His play has been mediocre.

they showed replays of him in one of the late games, he played well in the time he did play. So he's as good if not better at this stage, than Mitchell.

we don't have enough draft picks to find a NT to groom, maybe they look for an UDFA? Think we should have one on the PS.
