The 49ers made their first big splash of the offseason, agreeing to terms with former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Charvarius Ward on a 3-year deal worth up to 42 million, with 26.7 million in guarantees.
There was a clear motivation on the 49ers’ part to upgrade in their secondary, and they accomplished that goal on the first day of the legal tampering period by landing a player of Ward’s caliber.
I know several 49ers fans may be unfamiliar with Ward and his stint in Kansas City. So I thought it would be a good idea to give a quick rundown on his recent performance and how he projects to make an impact on the 49ers going forward.
