2nd year RB Glenn Coffee, also a 49er, has retired. In his defense, he was straight up about it with team officials by all accounts. His heart just wasn't in the game anymore was his explanation.
Now we find out Percy Harvin's 'migraines' (which he does suffer from) actually are a nearly 3 week unexplained absence from training camp. He is not on Minnesota's 80 man roster.

Indeed, a very strange camp so far. Coffee retiring to devote his time to worship. I would have thought having and ordained minister as a coach may have kept him around, but I guess not. Better to have this happen now than later.
And it sounds like the Westbrook signing is a change of pace for Gore and mentoring for Anthony Dixon. Low risk signing for one uncapped year.
