Niners will release Clements, but door not closed

[ZiaRam]

The ***** informed CB Nate Clements on Thursday that he will be released, according to a league source.

The sides were unable to work out a new deal after extensive talks, so the ***** made the decision to release Clements, a move that will save them more than $7 million. The ***** made Clements the highest-paid corner in the league in 2007 after they signed him away from the Bills with an eight-year, $80 million contract.

It might not be the end of Clements in San Francisco, though, as the ***** haven’t closed the door on bringing back the 10-year veteran at some point

Goodness that contract finally got to them!
