The 49ers brought back reserve cornerback Dontae Johnson, and his re-signing could be one of those underrated moves heading into 2021.
The San Francisco 49ers re-signing 29-year-old cornerback Dontae Johnson to a one-year deal earlier this offseason certainly didn’t create a lot of buzz. And whatever attention it did receive probably didn’t generate a good deal of positive responses.
Yet the Niners appear to value Johnson a lot more than the fanbase. When one dives a bit deeper, it’s understandable why.
