OT Jonas Jennings, according to team sources, will be released soon and was asked not to attend the start of the team's offseason program Monday. The 49ers have no interest in keeping Jennings around, sources said. Jennings signed a seven-year, $36 million contract with the 49ers in 2005. In four seasons, he started just 23 games. Jennings is scheduled to earn $4.2 million in base salary in 2009. The five projected starters on the 49ers' offensive line - Staley, David Baas, Eric Heitmann, Chilo Rachal and Adam Snyder - are scheduled to earn a combined $3.8 million in base salary. The release of Jennings would save the 49ers $3.108 million in salary cap space. He is currently scheduled to count $6.592 million against the salary cap. If he's released, the only charge on the cap will be the remaining $3.484 million in prorated bonus money. 31/6/2009
