NBC Sports’ Jennifer Lee Chan broke the news that the San Francisco 49ers are expected to re-sign edge rusher Ronald Blair, pending a physical.
Blair missed all of 2020 after suffering a setback in his ACL recovery after going down in the ninth game of the 2019 season. Blair has been a favorite of the coaching staff. I’d assume he’d sign for a one-year deal worth the veteran minimum.
With Blair, the 49ers have the following edge rushers on their depth chart: Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, Dee Ford, Jordan Willis, Kentavius Street, and a couple of other practice squad players.
