You don't get to drop the ball too often ;D
Sky News reporting....
Hayne has been 'released' by the 49ers
Get the first plane home Jarryd....and we'll rookie draft you
( Edit: It seems as though the 49ers have dropped Hayne to elevate another player. They can drop Hayne back to their non-playing squad or he can be picked up by another team.)

Don't sound so shocked lods!
Funny how this game works. I tried telling everyone that it was ideal in his first game when his main competition went down early, giving him plenty of exposure. He didn't do anything explosive, and made a few mistakes. Cest la vie.
However, since then he has made a few more. On top of that the 2 blokes in front of him at Running back have been in and out through injury (VERY RARE) and instead of Hayne, your #3 guy stepping up into the #1 role, they decided, rightly, to get someone else in who was capable.
It is simply too soon for Hayne to be expected to carry the #1 role as running back.
He is now in the practice squad which is akin to your rookie list here, but with less benefits in terms of playing.
If he was to go somewhere else, and eventually he probably will, he would have to learn more plays. Although a lot of the plays would be similar, its the nomenclature that would catch you out as much as anything initially. Every team has their own names for their own plays - even though each team uses a basic set of plays.
He is doing everything he possibly can and is going into it with the right attitude. He can do no more than that. He simply just needs to perform when given opportunities.
NFL is a lot more cutthroat than AFL.
They don't have to play you to your strengths.
They don't have to give you opportunities.
If you are there, you do what you have to until you are called upon. When you are, DON'T mess up.
