Juszczyk was right about his playing his last Niner game. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the 49ers dismissed Juszczyk on Monday night.

After that season-ending defeat to the Arizona Cardinals, Juszczyk, 33, informed ESPN and Schefter's source that he would play in 2025 regardless of club.

"I know I'm not done," Juszczyk remarked Jan. 5. "I'm still playing. No regression. I have no intentions to quit, particularly if you show me where I've deteriorated in the previous two games."

Juszczyk almost left the 49ers last summer before taking a salary cut. A similar arrangement was expected this summer for Juszczyk to play a tenth season in San Francisco, but it did not happen.
