The San Francisco 49ers signed Leon Hall to a contract last week, but they apparently were not impressed with what they saw from the veteran cornerback.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the 49ers have decided to release Hall.
The #49ers are releasing veteran CB Leon Hall, source said. A bit of a surprise considering how recently they signed him.

Hall, a former first-round pick out of Michigan, was considered one of the better corners in the league several years ago when he was with the Cincinnati Bengals. He spent nine seasons with the Bengals before signing with the New York Giants last year, and he had remained a free agent until the Niners signed him on Oct. 10.
With how quickly San Francisco released Hall, it would not be a surprise if he doesn’t find work for the remainder of the season and beyond.
