Former Arizona Cardinals safety Tony Jefferson has agreed to a deal with the San Francisco 49ers.

In Week 5 of the upcoming 2021 season, the Arizona Cardinals will take on the rival San Francisco 49ers in what could be a matchup that has a significant impact on how the NFC playoff standings shake out.

The Cardinals will be out for revenge after the 49ers left State Farm Stadium in Week 16 of last season with an upset victory. That loss to San Francisco ended up preventing Arizona from earning their first spot in the postseason since 2015.
