Elijah Lee: Moving on from Detroit
Lee was waived by the Lions on Thursday.
The ex-49er was exclusively deployed on special teams during his time in Detroit, after starting on defense six times for San Francisco between 2018 and 2019. Lee's best season came two years ago when he racked up 65 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble, but his 2020 stint with the Lions was uneventful as he accumulated just two total tackles in limited work.

49ers' Elijah Lee: Does not receive tender
Lee was not given a tender by the 49ers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
After he played in all 16 games in 2018, starting the final four, Lee saw his role shrink last year. The 24-year-old spent the first half on the practice squad before recording only seven tackles (three solo) across eight contests, primarily on special teams.

49ers' Elijah Lee: Role reduced in 2019
Lee recorded seven tackles (three solo) over eight games during the 2019 regular season.
Lee racked up 65 total tackles in 2018 while starting just six games that season, but the linebacker still began 2019 on the practice squad after the team replenished its linebacker depth. The 24-year-old will be a restricted free agent this upcoming offseason, but the 49ers may let him walk with a healthy amount of linebackers under contract and not a lot of cap space to play with. Lee could surface as a deep IDP candidate based on his strong tackle totals in 2018 if he ends up in a scenario where he can see significant defensive snaps next year.
