February 7, 2007 The 49ers have told Jeremy Newberry they have no plan to re-sign him, according to the Oakland Tribune. Newberry, who turns 31 next month, has struggled with knee problems that have caused him to miss a lot of action over the last three seasons, including all 16 games last year. He would still like to continue his career, though. "I think I'm going to play again," he said. "I've been running for the last three weeks, and my cardio conditioning is coming along. I haven't had any problems or setbacks. If I do at some point, then maybe I'd re-evaluate. But I feel like I can still be very effective. I want to go have an opportunity to play." Newberry said he'd like to stay in the Bay Area and play for Oakland, if they're interested.
