49ers sign DB Derrick Kindred to reserve/futures contract

The San Francisco 49ers have signed former Cleveland Brown defensive back Derrick Kindred to a futures contract for the 2020 season. Kindred was a fourth-round pick in 2016. He started 17 games in three seasons. During the 2019 preseason, Kindred spent time with the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Jets before being released to start the season. Kindred has the versatility you look for in a safety. He’s 5-foot-10, 210 pounds, which is bigger than he looks. His size allows him to play in the box, and his length and quickness are good enough for Kindred to play in the slot.
