Saw this on the Bay Area news tonight...apparently the Niners do not want to ceremoniously sign Jerry Rice for one day so that he can officially retire as a 49er (such as the Raiders recently did for one of their all time greats, Tim Brown, who left the team near the end of his career).
The new coach said he felt it would be disruptive to the current team to cut somebody for one day in order to make it happen.
What a bunch of bunk. They could still do it before their first game. If anyone deserves such an honor it is Jerry Rice. He will always be remembered as a Niner despite just one more example of the lack of class in the organization since Eddie DeBartolo was forced to surrender his ownership role.
