49ers re-sign Jimmie Ward to three-year deal, per report

For the San Francisco 49ers, the big news on Monday was re-signing defensive end Arik Armstead to a five-year deal while also trading away Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts.

While the Buckner move stung, it did clear up more than $12 million in cap space. And the Niners were in much better position to re-sign yet another one of their big-name pending free agents, defensive back Jimmie Ward.

NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco reported late Monday night San Francisco was bringing Ward back on a three-year deal.
