NFL Notes: 49ers, Colts, Dolphins, Eagles, Patriots, Titans

49ers

• The 49ers released their entire strength and conditioning team on Tuesday including director of human performance Mark Uyeyama and assistants Kurt Schmidt, Brian Johnson, Taylor Johnson and David Young. (Matt Maiocco)

Colts

• ESPN’s Mike Wells expects the Colts to cut DT Art Jones due to the amount of time he has missed to injury in his three years with the team.
• Wells notes that Jones has only appeared in 17 out of 48 regular season games with Indianapolis and already took a pay cut last offseason.

Dolphins

• James Walker of ESPN expects the Dolphins to cut DE Mario Williams to save $8.5 million in cap space. He is entering the final year of a two-year, $17 million contract.

Eagles

• Tim McManus of ESPN writes that the Eagles are in “desperate need” for an outside receiver and mentions Kenny Stills, Terrelle Pryor, Alshon Jeffery or DeSean Jackson as top-tier impending free agents that Philadelphia could target.
• Additionally, McManus thinks the Eagles will pursue a “complementary” receiver after the first wave of free agent additions.

Patriots

• Mike Reiss of ESPN believes the Patriots should make re-signing CB Malcolm Butler one of their top priorities this offseason since he is set to be a restricted free agent.
• Reiss does not think placing a first-round tender on Butler will be enough to secure him for 2017 and could see a team with a low first-round pick signing his offer sheet.

Titans

• Paul Kuharsky of ESPN could see the Titans trading out of the No. 5 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft since they do not have a second-round pick at this time.
