The 49ers released James on Sept. 8, the day after the team's Week 1 win over the Cowboys.
That day, James' agent thanked the franchise for granting LaMichael's release request.
However, two days later, 49ers GM Trent Baalke contradicted that narrative.
"We just made a decision it was time to move on,” Baalke said on 95.7 The Game. “It had nothing to do with any request LaMichael made.
"Where that’s coming from, I don’t know."
On Sept. 17, James visited with Miami but left without signing a contract.
