Getty ImagesIt’s been a bad offseason for the 49ers. It got a lot worse late Monday.
According to multiple reports, 49ers fullback Bruce Miller was arrested last Thursday in Santa Clara on charges of spousal abuse.
“The San Francisco 49ers organization is aware of the matter involving Bruce Miller,” the team said in a release, via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. “We were disappointed to learn of these reports and will do our due diligence in collecting all relevant information.”
The NFL has increased dramatically its approach to allegations of domestic violence, via a new personal-conduct policy. Miller ultimately could be placed on the Commissioner-Exempt list pending resolution of the case, with a potential suspension coming after the prosecution ends.
The 49ers acquired Miller in the seventh round of the 2011 draft. He has appeared in all but three career regular-season games, with 42 career starts.
I guess it’s safe to say that today sucks being a Niners fan. Smh, damn.
Not a good day for the 9er fan
Kinda gotta cut him
I think the circus is making there way from New York to San Francisco
Well obviously Bruce didn’t watch any NFL games this year because if he was paying attention to the commericals he would’ve been cured of this habit.
#NoMore.
What a series of events, literally a train wreck
The 49ers are aware of the incident but don’t care because they are interested in bringing in a guy like Hardy, who is guilty of domestic violence too.
Above approach still applies for them.
Another reason why I’m a Redskin fan. We only produce classy individuals who happen to dominate on the Football field. #GodsTeam
Nice knowing you.
Worst day ever for the 9er.
It just ain’t their year…
Talk about a tough day for 49er fans.
Well, he is gonna be suspended indefinitely if tru, so might as well prepare for life without him.49ers are having the worst off season I have ever seen! This team has imploded before our eyes! And the year hasnt even started! Somehow I feel Tomsula will take the blame for all this.
After today, I could think of about 30 other teams that have it better than the niners…
Yeah, keep it comin! I’ll just wait for the 2017 season to start.
Awful last 48 hours for is Niner fans
Trey Millard come on down..you are the next contestant of the price is right..
the 49ers are the ravens of the west.
I swear, they could make a movie based off of this offseason. Wow, just terrible. I can sympathize with the real Niner fans. What a disgrace Jed York is to NFL football fans.
Counter is on 08 days without an arrest…You’re welcome!
I thought last years San Francisco off season was a cluster-f.
This years is making last year look like Peaches and Cream.
#wegotitbetterthanyou.
(The we being the other 31 teams in the league)
49ers will have between 4 and 9 wins next season. No joke. The wheels are coming off.
49ers couldn’t have fallen from proverbial grace faster than they have. Wow!
He was just practicing a dummy drill.
7th rounder and FB. That’s all you really need to know. He’s a grinder…not a star. This is the perfect guy for the NFL to pretend to make an example of. They get to pretend that they care and it cost them virtually nothing. It’s not like he is a star RB or an elite edge rusher. I bet he is gone. Never to be heard from again….kind of like Hardy’s accuser. Just saying.
Bruce Miller is the last person whose name I would expect to see in a headline like this. Wow.
With all the crap going on with our Niners today…….she probably said the wrong thing and he snapped.
This hurts because I was reading that 9ers were looking at Greg Hardy… might not be the best idea now
49ers should not be allowed an off-season… too much happens to their players.
Tough day for the city of Santa Clara.
Well, it looks like Jed York got what he wanted. Team implosion successful. Mission Complete.
Will the niners take the ray McDonald approach from last year? Look away all year until he does it again and your out of the playoffs and then cut him?
add fullback to free agent needs. Keep in Classy San Francisco.
SKOL
This is why I should have been hired as head coach for this out of control franchise.
– Jim Schwartz
DUMPSTER
FIRE
A lot of people were worried that the 49ers were going to be a completely different team this year. Maybe not!
Man…is there a Mercy rule in the offseason? This is Brutal to watch
Winning with class aye Jed?!!
O/U on number of wins this year is 6.5
I think I’ll take the under……said everybody.
This curse began when that obnoxious blowhard had the audacity to call out the Seahawks and made those “above reproach” comments in the offseason prior to 2013 season.
Man San Francisco…you guys just blew it
– Pete Carroll
obnoxious blowhard Jim Harbaugh
Above Reproach.
– Jed York
They might need Harbough to come back after all to fill a roster spot
The Niners deserve some sort of prize for masterfully and systematically destroying a franchise in less that 24 hours
Above Reproach!
And under the Seahawks, Cards, and Rams.
“…can’t work with him…can’t win with him…can’t do it!”
So, this has been a very bad week for our team, and it just got worse. Time to accept your statue at the Bad Timing awards, Bruce. Better get your climbing gear on Trent and Jed, because you have dug this team into a HUGE hole in the space of only 8 weeks.
“Bruce Miller of the San Francisco 49’ers Retires” story at 11…………..seeing that the NFL collectively now uses about 5 fullbacks in the entire league i guess this dude just “roasted” himself. “NEXT??”
It’s just going all downhill for the 49ers, isn’t it? Now, they have to cut another one of their core players.
Bye!!!

And what would be the one team who doesn’t after the last few days? Only other competition would be the Eagles and at least they have not had anyone arrested yet. Even the usual suspects such as the Jets and Browns have had a good offseason in comparison to the 49’ers.
How big is that discipline committee?
Who needs a fullback anyway 😀
So many tears
This guy is a moron, his fiancé is beautiful. Bruce, you messed up bud
Well, Jedidiah…is it time to call it rebuilding? or still in the implosion phase?
Wow… Seattle should have run the ball.
For a good player like Aldon Smith, he’s family and you stick by them during hard times. For a dispensable fullback, it’s unacceptable and he’ll be looking for employment elsewhere.
The new stadium isn’t just cursed, but it takes away a starter for every time it was resodded.
I am retiring with my boys P.Willis and J.Smith today as a Niners fan. This coming football season I’ll just be a fan of the game.
40Whiners make Oakland look like angels.
Tsk tsk…the criminal element has overtaken the quiche eaters.
finish last in the NFCW this year. bank it
Looks like their was a huge earthquake in San Francisco today.
They’re doing a better job of destroying their team than Al Davis ever did.
And we thought our franchise was a train wreck.
– The Cleveland Browns
Jed York would burn his house down trying to make toast. What a disaster of an offseason.
Maybe he was just trying to fit in with the guys…
Oh no. You have to suspend him – period! You NFL execs who know so much about human behavior, that you disregard anything other than media reports, must now suspend this guy (who I never even heard of). But hey; what does the NFL or its media coverage care. Clearly, the NFL and its media did not think for a moment about the consequences of their “new domestic violence” policy. They didn’t think about how non-NFL fans that could care less about the NFL or its players (but do care immensely about $$$$), might react to this new policy by threatening everything. The NFL should’ve left these matters to the courts – despite the media, who no longer – at least for me – represent the 4th estate.
Winning with class!
I see Seattle getting a bunch of new 2012’s on their bandwagon if it’s still intact after 2nd goal from the one when it hit a pot hole and exploded in sorrow.
Look at the bright side 9ers fans…
You got a new stadium.
What a rough day for the niners, I can’t imagine such a disaster!! It’s almost like they were at the half yard line set to win the super bowl and threw a pick and lost and went 1-2 in super bowl history 😂😂
This could be a terrible day for niners fans, until they remember the pick russel threw to lose the sb..HAHAHA
Say goodbye to that career.
The 49ers could make the Days-Without-Arrests meter go into negative numbers if it were possible.
The curse of the Harbino smdh!!!

The dude probably lost it because of whats going on with the team. its not funny but i think it could be true. 7th rd pick or not, he played alot of snaps so it can`t be no big deal at all.
And in the ultimate symbolism, the number on his jersey is 49.
Somewhere in Michigan, Jim Harbaugh is laughing maniacally while mumbling something about karma.
Who actually knew they had a guy named Bruce Miller on the roster?
Show of hands?
TALK ABOUT DYSFUNCTIONAL, THE 49ERS NOW HOLD THAT TITLE TO THEMSELVES!
It’s called Karma 49ers suck
They meant to say domestic battery
Missed their window, and now their deploading!
And here I thought only brutha’s did DV.
Never heard of him
Niners. The niners fans on here shall NEVER talk trash to any other fan base about the character of its team members.

Today? Look up “most arrests in NFL since 2012” for us. Let us know.
Haha, 49er fans using this as a reason to bash the Seahawks. That’s hilarious. At least the Seahawks were in a position to blow the Superbowl in the last minute. Where were the 49ers? Oh, 8-8 and not even close to the playoffs? Hahahahaha!
Enjoy the implosion. Same thing happened last offseason and 49er fans tried to act like it wouldn’t impact them on the field. Well, going from losing the NFC championship game to being lucky to be at 8-8 proves you wrong and every fan of the other 31 teams right.
Promoting Tomsula to Head Coach is still the worst thing that has happened to 49ers fans this offseason. Sad… hilariously so!
Niner fans have no need to worry, they signed Darnell Dockett!
I’m a niner fan and today has been rough!!! But then I think about it and how could we possibly upstage Seattle?? At the half inch line Lynch In the backfield plenty of time on the clock.. Then boom!!! Interception game over and you have lost twice as many super Bowls as you have won!! Then as a niner fan I start to think today really was a bad day! But at least today we won’t be known for the dumbest play call in not only football history but super bowl history 😂😂😂😂
I used to hate Seattle but thanks Hawks you made today so much better!!
The bandwagon fans of San Francisco oh I meant Santa Clara will disappear for another ten years. The players on this team are either signing somewhere else or retiring or getting arrested.
Levi’s Stadium where dreams die……..
your Innocent until proven guilty most places in the US BUT in the NFL your Guilty regardless as soon as someone accuses you
Steroids are a helluva drug.
Don’t worry Bruce, you’ve got McDonald and Smith for support.
Somehow I get the feeling there’s a college coach somewhere up in Ann Arbor who’s not disliking all this recent 9’er news.
I’m sure there’s a money grab involved somehow. These women know it’s open season on NFL players.
