NFL Roster Cuts: 49ers Cut Nate Davis, Sign Troy Smith

The 49ers on Monday released Ball State quarterback and last year's third-string on the depth chart, Nate Davis, to make room for former Ravens quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith.

Davis was a 5th round pick in 2009, but never played a snap last season with the 49ers. He was a fan favorite among San Francisco fans discontent with the play of starter Alex Smith, but was never able to produce the same infatuation with his coaches. 49ers head coach Mike Singletary, in particular, was vocal in his criticism of Davis.

Smith appeared in 14 games with the Ravens in three seasons, but other than a 2008 preseason competition against incoming first round pick Joe Flacco, never was given consideration for a permanent starting role.
