The San Francisco 49ers have waived wide receiver Ronnie Bell, who struggled to find a stable role among a crowded receiving corps despite being a seventh-round pick in the 2023 draft.
Bell contributed mainly on special teams, appearing in nine games and catching just two passes for 22 yards this season, alongside a disappointing rookie total of six receptions for 68 yards.
The team's improving health at wide receiver made Bell expendable, with established players like Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings leading the depth chart, and rookies outshining him in the punt return role.
Fans grew frustrated with Bell after his key drop in a pivotal Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Rams, highlighting the pressure he faced while fighting for a place on the roster.
