49ers’ Spencer Long Retires

A week after the San Francisco 49ers signed him to a one-year deal, the Niners placed Spencer Long on the reserved/retired list, according to an official team announcement.

Long, 29, spent last season in a valuable reserve role for the Buffalo Bills, but was unexpectedly cut earlier this month.

Long was drafted by Washington in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft and has also played for the New York Jets.
