A name familiar to 49ers fans is returning to San Francisco.
After losing Kerry Hyder to Seattle a year ago, the 49ers are bringing Hyder back on a one-year, $1.5 million deal with $750K guaranteed and $750K available in sack incentives, according to ESPN NFL Insider Field Yates.
This signing reunites Hyder with defensive line coach Kris Kocurek. Hyder’s best seasons have come while working with Kocurek. While together in Detroit and San Francisco, Hyder recorded 17.5 of his 20 career sacks.
Hyder put together the best season of his career in 2020. Starting 14 games in place of Nick Bosa, Hyder would finish with 8.
