Free agency in the NFL officially began on Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. and the 49ers wasted little time getting involved.
San Francisco agreed to terms with former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway on Wednesday. Ridgeway joins cornerback Charvarius Ward and linebacker Oren Burks as new additions for the 49ers.
Ridgeway was originally a fourth-round selection of the Indianapolis Colts. Following three seasons with Indianapolis, Ridgeway was traded to Philadelphia for a seventh-round pick.
This move bolsters a 49ers defensive line which lost D.J. Jones earlier in the week to free agency.
