The 49ers, who have just one player on their roster with more than 14 career sacks, hosted Buccaneers defensive end Jacquies Smith on Friday, the NFL Network reported.
Smith, 27, is a restricted free agent who had 13.5 sacks from 2014-15 before sustaining a torn ACL in last year’s season opener. Tampa Bay tendered him with an original-round offer. Since Smith entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2012, the 49ers wouldn’t surrender a draft pick to the Buccaneers if they signed him. The Buccaneers can match any offer Smith receives from the 49ers.
