Extra Point:Spencer has been a class act with the Niners, doing whatever it is they ask of him. He's been viewed differently by each coaching staff that has come through the organization, but has contributed in any way asked of him. His diminished role last year, and team focus on getting younger and better at corner back made his tenure come to a close, but I for one am sorry to see him go. You can never have too many starting caliber corner backs, especially ones that can match up against big bodied receivers.
