The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of cornerback Will Davis to a one-year contract. They have been working out defensive backs throughout the week, working out both cornerbacks and safeties.
I expected the team to sign somebody with some safety experience, but cornerback is also a depth need. They have Rashard Robinson as a likely starter, with Ahkello Witherspoon, Keith Reaser, and Dontae Johnson competing for the other starting spot. K’Waun Williams and Will Redmond are viewed as the primary competitors for the nickel role.
