The San Francisco 49ers will cut Carlos Rogers after the start of the NFL's 2014 calendar to spread out the remaining cap hit from his original $5 million signing bonus over two seasons.

The 49ers signed Rogers to a four-year, $29.3 million contract in 2012.

The move will save $6.6 million in cap space in 2014.

Rogers signed a one-year deal in 2011 and was then named to his first Pro Bowl team.
