With the new league year just around the corner, it’s time to start talking free agents and who the 49ers should pursue in the coming weeks. The 49ers have a few different areas of need, but one of the utmost importance is solidifying their secondary by bringing in a veteran cornerback to start opposite Emmanuel Moseley.
Enter Casey Hayward Jr., who spent this past season with the Las Vegas Raiders. Hayward is a 10-year NFL veteran who is coming off of a campaign that saw him playing at an above-average level. The 49ers secondary would get a significant boost from a player like Hayward, benefiting greatly from the wealth of experience that comes with a decade of playing in the league.
