It’s not likely the San Francisco 49ers will make any more big-name signings in NFL free agency after retaining two of their own, defensive end Arik Armstead and safety Jimmie Ward. There simply isn’t enough cap space, currently, for the Niners to spend frivolously.
On Monday, however, San Francisco made a couple of low-profile free-agent additions to reinforce the back end of the roster and provide some depth heading towards offseason programs.
First, the 49ers inked 27-year-old linebacker Joe Walker to a one-year deal, according to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
