49ers cut a 2024 fourth-round pick from their practice squad, signaling depth chart struggles. Multiple outlets covered the move, suggesting Baker failed to gain traction in San Francisco's system. Being cut three times in one year indicates significant NFL-level performance issues. Fans question whether Baker can develop as a prospect given repeated releases. San Francisco moves forward with their existing WR rotation and practice squad alternatives.
