Santa Clara, CA (My Sportsbook) - The San Francisco 49ers have released veteran quarterback Damon Huard. The 36-year-old Huard, a veteran of 13 NFL seasons, was nudged out with Shaun Hill being named the starter, Alex Smith as the backup and Nate Davis as the No. 3 QB on the depth chart. "I am thankful that we were lucky enough to have Damon here with us this offseason," said head coach Mike Singletary. "He was a professional in every sense. What he did with our quarterbacks was outstanding. He helped them to have a better idea about what it takes to be a pro. Not only did he provide them great tips throughout, but he helped build their confidence." Huard has thrown for 6,303 yard and 33 touchdowns in his career. He has played with Miami, New England and Kansas City. He signed with the 49ers this past March. |
