Well, that uneventful Friday turned interesting towards the end, didn’t it? The San Francisco 49ers have reached an agreement to bring free agent Earl Mitchell to the team. He’ll probably serve as the nose tackle in Robert Saleh’s 4-3 defensive conversion. Maybe Glenn Dorsey sticks around, but it’s not a good indicator.
Isn’t it nice to see the 49ers actually doing something in free agency? And not only doing something—this is the right signing. It’s not going to take too much off the cap, it’s veteran leadership on a young team, and it’s an upgrade over what they have.
