The 49ers announced they had linebacker Nathan Gerry on Tuesday afternoon. Gerry signed with the Niners on March 29 of this year.
Gerry did not have a great reputation last season; as Eagles fans will tell you, he was the worst linebacker in football. From coverage to tackling, Gerry left a lot to be desired. He can run, but outside of that, I wasn’t sure what San Francisco saw in him besides potentially adding more speed on special teams.
Gerry did not have any guaranteed money in his contract, so the 49ers save $850,000 in cap savings.
