The <a href="https://www.ninersnation.com/2021/7/6/22565748/49ers-waive-lb-nate-gerry">San Francisco 49ers officially waived Nathan Gerry </a>on Tuesday afternoon.</p> <p id="2ztsg5">The former Eagles linebacker originally signed with San Fran back in late March. He was never considered a lock to contribute or even make the roster this year since they gave him a minimum contract. Still, you would have thought he would’ve at least gotten a chance to theoretically “compete” for a spot on the team in training camp. Won’t be happening now.</p> <p id="qSu0x0">Perhaps another team out there will give Gerry a look. The <a href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/">Kansas City Chiefs</a> could be a team to watch since they employ former Eagles linebacker coach Ken Flajole, who often raved about Gerry. Or maybe it’s merely the end of the line for the 26-year-old. In any case, I doubt we’ll see the much-maligned Gerry returning to Philly. </p> <p id="pecTKD">The 49ers were previously tied for the NFL lead in former Eagles players rostered with five. Without cheating, can you name the four that remain?
