San Francisco 49ers waive troubled wide receiver Antonio Bryant
CBC News, Canada - 7 hours ago
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The San Francisco 49ers waived troubled receiver Antonio Bryant on Thursday night, just one season after signing him to a lucrative four-year, free-agent contract.

Bryant caught 40 passes for a team-leading 733 yards last season, but repeatedly ran afoul of coach Mike Nolan's disciplinary standards. Bryant was arrested in November after a wild escapade in his orange Lamborghini, and he later angered Nolan for being late to a team meeting.

Bryant ended last season midway through a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy and the 49ers decided they wouldn't wait to deal with Bryant's next problem.

Good on the field, problem off it. Apparently a big enough problem for the Niners to want him gone. Good move?
