The 49ers’ free-agent addition of Tom Compton could work out, but the right guard isn’t guaranteed a roster spot.
The San Francisco 49ers inked former New York Jets right guard Tom Compton to a one-year free-agent deal, replacing their previous starter at the position, Mike Person, who was released after two years with the Niners.
It was something of an interesting move, as Person was a solid-if-not-spectacular contributor during his two-year stead.
Compton, who just turned 31 years old, was originally drafted by the Washington Redskins in Round 6 of the 2012 NFL Draft.
